Published to coincide with the first major retrospective of Chinese photographer Mo Yi, "Mo Yi: Selected Photographs 1988–2003" is a book that compiles his representative works from the 1980s to 2003 in English, marking his first international retrospective. The book is divided into five chapters and introduces, in chronological order, a series that, while based on a documentary spirit of capturing everyday life and urban living, also attempts to expand photographic expression itself, starting with street photography in the 1980s. Mo's visual exploration, which shifted from monochrome to later color expression, is closely intertwined with social changes and the appearance of cities in China, demonstrating the intersection of two aspects of the photographic medium: its documentary and physical nature, and its serendipity and experimental nature. The book includes text contributions made in conjunction with major exhibitions at Les Rencontres d'Arles and UCCA (Beijing Today Art Museum), serving as an opportunity for Mo to be introduced to an international audience for the first time. With 192 pages and numerous illustrations, this book vividly illustrates the intersection of the changing times in China and photographic expression.
