Xiao Quan shot to fame with his large-scale photo album Our
Generation. The album, published in 1996 in China, features almost
all of the famous figures in literature and fine art during the
1980s and 1990s, including Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, He
Xuntian, Tan Dun, Bei Dao, Wang Anyi, Shi Tiesheng, Chen Cun, and
Cui Jian, among others. In order to make this picture album, Xiao
Quan traveled around China, and it took him nearly ten years to
complete it. This book returns to that project to present it to a
wider audience. This is a personal and fascinating documentation of
China s late 1980s through the 1990s, capturing the drastic social
change of the country s first decade of economic reform. Through an
attentive selection of his most significant portraits of ordinary
people around China and a group of emerging artists, this book aims
at a comprehensive depiction of Xiao Quan s generation, giving a
new perspective on Chinese cultural evolution and contemporary
society.
