In “Some Days”, Wang has created a series of photographs with a mood that is instantly recognizable as his. This mood incorporates nostalgia, memory and dreams. One of the essential elements in Wang Ningde’s photographs is the closed eyes, or at least the absence of open eyes. Another element is Mao suit. Though not all the subjects wear Mao suits, not all show eyes that are closed, but all contain essential parts of the dream. Wang Ningde has distilled 20th Century China into its pure elements.

ABOUT

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.
