After having kept these photographs hidden for over two decades, Xu Yong has decided to publish them as a form of art book as well as real photographs with editions. These images portray young Chinese idealists advocating democracy in 1989. Although the sensitive nature and the poignancy of the content, Xu Yong explains that there is nothing political about his choice to render these photographs visible.
Not only do these images capture a crucial moment in the history of modern China, but they also reveal the strong artistic skills of Xu Yong - renowned photographer whose work has been acquired by worldwide institutions and private collectors such as George W Bush Senior, amongst others.
Xu Yong is also author of the stunning black and white photographic series of “101 Portraits of Hutongs”
