The first hardback monograph from Ren Hang, the controversial avant-garde photographer from China. A curation of the photographer's most interesting work to date presented in a large format clothbound hardcover book. This First Edition is limited to just 460 numbered copies.

Originally from Chang Chun in the Jilin province of Northeastern China, Ren Hang (b.1987) is a poet and photographer living and working in Beijing. Deliberately provocative, Ren Hang’s images challenge conventional codes of morality in a still highly conservative society. The artist’s work has appeared in leading independent magazines in China and around the world.

The explicit nature of Ren Hang’s photography has often made it difficult for galleries in his homeland to mount exhibitions of his work. Despite this, his images have been exhibited widely; with several solo shows in China and appearances in numerous group shows internationally in countries including Italy, France, Russia, Israel and Sweden.
