Li Jun
2013 TSPA Recipient We have seen all kinds of clever artistic tricks, but we very seldom see someone control dust. Many people want to express the traces in our lives, but few have tackled the accumulation of dust as an expressive photographic process. By proceeding from the outside in, the photographer has correctly and successfully reached the essence of life. -
Zhang Jin
2012 TSPA Recipient Here there is silence, with springs in the woods and mist. There are traces from ancient civilizations, and explorations fit for a seer. There is also nature and life, which continue to exist everywhere regardless of the changes in dynasty or nation over time, with strength born from basic instinct. -

Zhang Xiao
2010 TSPA Recipient They, in reality, are a group of very ordinary people. They all have their own lives and careers, but in these photographs, they seem strange and absurd, and very unreal. Rapid economic growth is changing their lives, but this growth is changing their emotional worlds even more. Behind the ostentation of the city, there have always been grief and tears, indifference and cruelty. -
