Arles Photography Open Salon 2012

(Before It's News)

A selection of work from my series “Beijing Walks of Life” has been selected for the Arles Photography Open Salon 2012. The exhibition will be held at Galerie Huit and runs alongside the Les Rencontres d’Arles festival from July 2nd to September 23rd. Early 2013 the exhibition will move to the South East Asia Photography Open Salon, organized by the Alliance Francaise at the China House in Penang, Malaysia.

Chinesense is a project of Dutch photographer Anton Hazewinkel. With photos and interviews he records the daily life of individual Chinese; most of the time in Beijing.

The blog’s aim is to present and document contemporary China. Facts, photos and interviews are recorded “as is”, usually without opinion or comments. Short stories include detailed information on people’s hometowns, their family, their monthly income, the rent they pay or how much they spend on food every day. Occasionally fictional stories or videos are posted and, last but not least, there is always an emphasis on the photographic context.
