Yibin I (Bathers), Sichuan Province from the Yangtze River Project, 2007
2007
This photograph from Nadav Kander's Yangtze River Project documents bathers in Yibin, Sichuan Province during a period of rapid industrial transformation along China's major river. Kander's large format color photography captures the everyday resilience of local people amid environmental and social upheaval caused by the Three Gorges Dam construction and urbanization. The work exemplifies Kander's practice of bearing witness to contemporary landscapes and human activity, presenting a nuanced portrait of modern China without overt commentary or sentimentality.
