An organism is reborn from DNA translating genetic information into new proteins. This translation process is also occurring in the creative practices of emerging Chinese artists, who are departing from the basic medium of photography and constantly pushing boundaries. In 2019, the Three Shadows Photography Award received 534 submissions, and the works of 20 artists were selected for the Eleventh Three Shadows Photography Award Exhibition. These artists are not limited by conventional ways of capturing images, they present lively and diverse visual landscapes.
