Republic (Signed) is a collection of works by Ren Hang (1987-2017), a Chinese photographer representing the 21st century. Ren Hang was extremely popular in the 2010s for his sexual, erotic and avant-garde style. His ideas and thoughts were influenced by Shuji Terayama and Nobuyoshi Araki. However, if Araki is a unique photographer who takes close-up photographs of women, Ren Hang could be called an artist who expresses himself through sexual objects. His eroticism is not as intimate as Araki's, and unlike Araki's, it is a kind of cold eroticism that does not feel erotic, mixing men and women, and there are also many elements of contemporary art. In addition, the interaction between the subjects and the sense of distance from the subject give the work a "modern" atmosphere that is different from Araki's. This book is a collection of works published in 2012 during his early years, and expresses the various people and worldviews that Ren Hang imagines, such as the inevitable "loneliness," the "love" he wants to feel, and the "utopia" he wants to visit. This may be the world of "Republic" that Ren Hang imagines. Limited to 500 copies. Edition number included. Signed by the photographer .
