"Halfway between Wong-Kar-Wai and Nan Goldin, Yang Yong recreates the face of a contemporary China caught up in the fliex of its frenetic development. Shenzhen, a new city with no past, an icon of China's hyper-modernity, is the setting for his work. Yang Yong's photographs reflect the wanderings of a generation in the face of a society that has overtaken it. Yang Yong was born in 1975 in Sichuan province. Yang Yong is one of the leading figures in Chinese photography. His work has been exhibited at the Venice Biennale (2003), Les rencontres d'Arles (2003), Centre International de photographie, New-York (2004), Centre Ullens pour l'art contemporain (2010).
