About Mutual Visual Exposure: Laurent Hou Tells The Tale Of His Shaanxi Series

FeaturedLaurent Hou's Shaanxi Series was shot in “traditional” documentary style, using only ambient light and catching spontaneous moments. The funeral, the series' focal point, took place across several cloudy days, providing the right light for descriptive photography: No strong highlights, no harsh shadows.

Photographer Laurent Hou explains, "People you photograph expose themselves and their way of life to you and your lens, but you too expose yourself to them." It's all about the vice versa of the visual arts.

@thehotpotlab : "Our favorite installation, Bubbles, is also the most significant one inside our exhibition. These giant orange metallic balls symbolize the boiling bubbles in a Sichuan hot pot, famous for its spicy taste. The metallic texture of the material is chosen for its luster to mimic the boiling broth.
