"Solution Scheme" is an art project born in 2006 from the collaboration between photographer Xu Yong and Yu Na, a former call girl and bar hostess. It brings together a dozen photographs accompanied by an autobiographical text by the young woman, encompassing an experimental concept and a real action. It features images of Yu Na, naked or in provocative, outrageous erotic attire, surrounded by impassive men in black suits in a boardroom atmosphere of gloomy offices. The cold scenography, the minimalist decor without narration or anecdote, and the silent atmosphere that gathers in frieze characters who do not communicate with one another, create a dislocated mood mixing irony and absurdity, incongruity and the sinister.

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.
