Photography is the image reproduction of optics. It records and represents the reality in the eyes of photographers, and also freezes the chosen time and space. The choice always provides the possibility of constructing reality in a conceptual level. This exhibition collects the works of ten Beijing contemporary photo-artists, in which ‘reality’ is personally interpreted through the different cutting point of body, society, culture as well as history.

Apart from the exhibition in the Hong Kong Arts Centre, there are small-scale artworks, videos, photographs and catalogues recording contemporary art activities in China exhibited in Para Site.

The exhibition is co-presented by Hong Kong Arts Centre and Para Site, curated by Zhang Fang (Beijing) and Ho Siu Kee (Hong Kong). Para Site Art Space is supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
