The influence of the Western culture on contemporary China, the problems encountered by the country in the process of development are at the heart of the concerns of Wang Qingsong. With theatrical photographic settings, the author reinforces, increases, caricatures, often with irony, the problems he wants us to become aware of. He frequently places himself in the image to invite the viewer to follow his glance. His work wants to be a metaphor of the living and working conditions in the city of the workmen and peasants who constitute the essential labour force needed for the maintenance of daily urban operations. Although angular stone of the development, they were always relegated to the outskirt of the urban society, impotent to obtain the elementary rights to which they could legitimately claim. From this frustrating reality, Wang Qingsong manufactures images that reveal the obscure zones which hide behind the production of wealth and the development of a prosperous society.
