Impossible is Nothing documents China as a rising power struggling to integrate capitalism into a communist system. During a decade of rapid economic growth, American photographer Priscilla Briggs traveled along the eastern seaboard of China. Impossible is Nothing explores various facets of Chinese society, within the context of a communist system that engages in "capitalism with Chinese characteristics." These photographs examine constructed Chinese realities of luxury and status, with the West serving as a model for capitalist consumerism. Portraits, still-life images, and urban landscapes are woven together to create a lyrical ode to the optimism and imagination of contemporary China.
