Final presentation Zhixing Jia

  ZHIXING JIA FINAL PRESENTATION   SUNDAY NOVEMBER 27th, 14.00 - 18.00 HOURS, GRAAFSEWEG 183A NIJMEGEN

 

“Last two months, I tried to feel the breath of the city. To feel the different culture between cities, countries and special China. I grew up in a very tradition Chinese family, with Chinese family education. When I recently visited Chinese children at their Dutch adoptive families, there where a lot of questions: I wanted to feel their habitat, their atmosphere and family education, their way of life.  I wanted to know their experience, their interests, study, habits. Of course my camera was with me.

Then- fast fast- I took some pictures following my first feeling.

And the answers became clearly. This approach is very different from the way I worked before.”     (Jia, november 2011)
