			ABOUT THE ARTISTS (by alphabetic order)
			S. LIU has published his work in the JPG magazine and has had his portfolio reviewed by Magnum photographers Chris Anderson, Mark Power and Alec Soth. To him, shooting photos is like hunting with a bow and arrow in the woods. It is about seeking opportunities, not total control. The intentional ambiguity in the narratives and compositions reflects the state of the mind of the artist.
			SUI Zhijie studied fine art at the prestigious Central Academy of Art in China before moving to the U.S. He is currently studying documentary photography at the Rochester Institute of Technology, NY. Although Sui’s photographs often depict losses and hardships, they never fail to strike sparks of perseverance, hope and spirituality.
			WANG Ping reinforces his control of imagery elements with a scientific rigidity. In his photographs, no man’s suburban landscape, deserted streets, obscure water surface, nameless wasteland… are used as allegories of retreat from artificial and chaotic city life and of Wang’s longing for the hermitic way of life. Wang has been exhibited at the LOFT 49 Art Studio (Hangzhou, China, 2004) and the Wang De Gallery (Shanghai, China, 2005).
			Ann XIANG states, “Like many of my contemporaries, I feel displaced every now and then. It’s not just because of the migration across an ocean or a continent, but that there always seems to be a thin veil or a small distance between where I am, and the World.” For Xiang, taking photographs is a way to bring the world closer to her.
			XIE Huafeng photographs common places with traces of human activities, yet preferably in the absence of people. He believes that such observations can reveal the impact of human presence has on architecture and landscape, similar to how one’s mind can be revealed by studying the physical characteristics and gestures of one’s hand.
			ZHANG Chu seeks balance by avoiding extremes while staying between conflicts. Behind the lens, he observes the world with both calmness and enthusiasm and explores the extraordinary out of ordinary life in a different dimension.
			ZHANG Jin attempts to minimize the elements and space in his viewfinder frame close to abstraction. He believes that precise narrative is as quintessential to photography as it is to fiction. While Zhang absorbs inspiration mostly from film, the lust for life is his instinct and drives him to create.
			Ken ZHENG is a savvy traveler and street photographer. To him, photography is a life style, in which he documents his endless awe of the surrealism of reality. He wishes to uncover the many wonders which lie beneath the seemingly mundane scenes and quotidian subjects.
			ZHENG Yaohua brings a selection of photographs from his ongoing project “On Their Sites,” which was inspired by Joel Sternfeld’s book On This Site and by Zheng’s fading memories of his home city, Shanghai. In this project, Zheng contemplates questions about memory and individual history(vs. collective history). He also attempts to negate the possibility of photographic misrepresentation and to question whether one can supplement personal memory with those from others. Zheng has worked in electronic image and video production for over ten years.
