> DESCRIPTION
In O Zhang's most recent series The World is Yours (But Also Ours) her images depict Chinese youth wearing American-style tee-shirts featuring "Chinglish" text and appended with slogans in bold graphic Chinese; some taken from the Chinese Cultural Revolution and the writings of Mao Zedong while others are written by Zhang herself. The images are formatted after the traditional Maoist style propaganda posters where an image is bordered at the bottom with a white band with red text. In doing so the series visually captures conflicts in modern day Chinese culture, such as communist legacy vs. recent rapid economic development and traditional culture vs. western popular culture, thus encapsulating the identity crisis facing Chinese youth and modern China. |
