The rise of a powerful cotton and wool industry, and the building of innumerable mills, canals, railways, chimneys and terraced worker houses, have been attributed in part to these high levels of precipitation. The local textile industry proliferated until the second half of the twentieth century, when there was a sudden, rapid decline and eventual decimation.

This he did in an empathetic, unfiltered manner beyond the visual narrative perpetuated by the Chinese government—from the withdrawal of Mao’s portraits from the public realm, to the increase in free commercial, artistic and personal expression, to the 1989 violence on Tiananmen Square and, more recently, the rise of yuppies who show how China has recast Communism in a socialist-capitalist mold. In contrast, Liu’s photos of Russia, taken between 1990 and 1993, document the collapse of a Communist state. The most enduring of these shows Mikhail Gorbachev throwing down the speech he delivered on 25 December 1991, announcing his resignation and signaling the end of the Soviet Union and Cold War.

He remained with the students until the Tiananmen massacre.\u003cbr\u003eKan Tai Wong's photographs of the student protest still resonate today, not only because of the historical weight of the events, but also because Wong's perspective (a local photographer who lived with the students for many weeks, rather than an international journalist reporting from the outside) allowed him to capture the students, their hopes, their resilience, and their determination from an intimate distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book concludes with several texts by Kan Tai Wong that have appeared in previous editions of \"'89 Tiananmen\".\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I reviewed the set of black-and-white negatives taken during the 1989 student democracy movement in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square through the white light of the light box, searching for the youthful spirit that was left behind on Chang’an Street.\u003cbr\u003eIn the presence of these remnants of youth still waiting to be picked up, I cannot help but wonder how they are doing today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter all, it was the most beautiful spark of humanity that had ever appeared in the land of China.”\u003cbr\u003e― from Kan Tai Wong’s afterword to the book “Mahjong” (2010)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWatch the book flip video \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/9a7OW7oPdKY?si=R1KszBZ4zMsao96d\" title=\"89' Tiananmen by Wong Kan Tai\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003e《'89 天安门》—— 为什么这本书值得被收藏？\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e有些摄影书记录摄影史，有些摄影书记录历史本身。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e《'89 天安门》属于后者。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e2024 年新版收录了摄影师\u003cstrong\u003e黃勤帶\u003c\/strong\u003e于 1989 年北京天安门学生运动期间拍摄的 102 张照片，以及 6 张后来重返现场时拍摄的作品。与许多国际媒体不同，翁乃强并非短暂到访的记者，而是在广场与学生们共同生活数周的摄影师。他记录的不只是事件的发展，更记录了参与其中的人——他们的理想、信念、坚持，以及青春。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e翻开这本书，你看到的不是教科书里的历史，而是历史发生时的温度。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e镜头里的学生会疲惫、会微笑、会争论、会等待。他们并非抽象的群体，而是一群真实存在过的人。正因为摄影师身处其中，这些照片拥有一种罕见的亲密感，让读者得以从内部理解那段历史。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e作为摄影书，《'89 天安门》同样值得反复阅读。它提醒我们，摄影不仅是记录事件，更是见证时代。照片里的每一个眼神、每一个动作，都让我们重新思考摄影在历史中的角色——当时间过去，当记忆被淡忘，影像仍然能够为那些曾经存在的人留下证言。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e对于摄影爱好者而言，这是一本关于纪实摄影与见证精神的重要作品；对于关心历史与社会的人而言，它则是一份珍贵的视觉档案。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e购买这本书，并不仅仅是收藏一册摄影集。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e而是收藏一段曾经发生过的历史、一位摄影师的见证，以及那些被镜头留下的青春与希望。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e有些照片会随着时间增值。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e有些照片则随着时间变得更加重要。\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage: English, Japanese\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eFormat: Softcover | 232 pages\u003cbr\u003eDimensions: 293\u003cspan\u003e x 225mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e| 825g\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-4-910244-32-7\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Zen Foto Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45225159295138,"sku":"","price":355.0,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/8521\/files\/newnew-19.png?v=1738660552"},{"product_id":"m-e","title":"M\/E","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"content unset js-translate-target\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpon visiting Iceland in 2019, Kawauchi encountered geysers like the breadths of Earth, glaciers surpassing human time, and the inner space of a dormant volcano that was reminiscent of the inside of a womb. She had thus experienced the connection to this planet she had never felt before. Iceland was her point of departure; she continued to experience similar sights such as the nature around her home after the COVID-19 pandemic and the winter land of Hokkaido. She opened her majestic solo exhibition “M\/E On this sphere Endlessly interlinking” and showcased a fraction of the “M\/E” series. Even today, this body of work has been exhibited around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe title “M\/E” comes from the first letters of the words “Mother” and “Earth”, “Mother Earth” if read in sequence, and also hints at the word “Me”. It reminds us of the certainty that nature as an infinite existence and the small ubiquitous occurrences from our daily lives are not unrelated, but inseparably connected. As the most recent body of work by Kawauchi who returned to her point of origin – the connection between nature and human beings – and thus took a different look at the world during this turbulent time, this series goes beyond “Ametsuchi” and “Halo” through which she had established her perspective by contemplating nature. Bound by Hans Gremmen, the book appears to be a singular book object. A beautifully written essay, the like of a heartfelt letter, by author, photographer, and art historian Teju Cole concludes this publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was made in co-published with delpire \u0026amp; co, France. torch press is Japanese\/English edition and delpire\u0026amp;co is French\/English edition.

And what I saw seemed to illuminate my own existence.\u003cbr\u003eOne experience inside a dormant volcano left a particularly strong impression. When I looked up, I saw light spilling in through the crater above, and its shape was reminiscent of female genitalia. As I gazed at this sight, I had the sense of being a fetus enveloped by the earth, and I felt a connection to this planet I have never felt before.\u003cbr\u003eMy plans to visit Iceland again in winter to probe these connections more deeply were thwarted by COVID-19. Partly as a result of this, I visited Hokkaido many times in the winter of last year. There I saw things that could only be seen in the bitterest cold and recalled how small and frail my own body truly was.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn retrospect, the past decade has seen a series of social upheavals, from the Great East Japan Earthquake to the COVID-19 pandemic. On a personal level, I experienced major life turning points like marriage and childbirth, as if living my life within great undulations. The days hurried past, but with the advent of the pandemic things seemed to slow somewhat.\u003cbr\u003eSometimes, while working at my home, I hear the babble of the stream outside, look through my window at the flowing water, and feel a sense of relief.\u003cbr\u003eSpending long periods at home for the first time in many years reminded me of my childhood.\u003cbr\u003eThe tedious after-school hours, the long, long summer holidays . . . Is my daughter, now, caught in a similar flow of time herself?\u003cbr\u003eOur hair and nails grow; day by day, second by second, we are closer to death.\u003cbr\u003eWhen I kept my eyes fixed on the small but certain changes, I felt as if the flow of time that seemed to accelerate every year had somehow been rewound a little.\u003cbr\u003eMy aging and my daughter’s development proceed equally; will warming continue the same way, until the glaciers I once saw are melted away? Everything is connected to the life we find before us.\u003cbr\u003eEven if we cannot stop ourselves heading toward death, surely, we can improve the places where we live.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake the initials of “Mother Earth,” and the result is “M\/E.”\u003cbr\u003eWhen I wrote out those two letters, I felt a connection between all things, from those so vast their full form cannot be surveyed with the naked eye to the tiniest individuals—and was reminded of that mysterious sensation I experienced beneath the volcanic crater of inversion and unity between the planet and myself.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e― Rinko Kawauchi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographs in “M\/E,” it seems to me, are gentler than anything you have published so far, while still retaining your usual power.
