Notes
Photographer Cai Dongdong works with archival and ‘found’ photographic images. In 2019 he told an interviewer, ‘I think the process of photography includes the fusion of Yin and Yang, negative and positive. The act of taking a picture is Yang, while the production of the image inside the darkroom is Yin. Photography is both.’ Works in this series are from his collection of old photographs, hand-coloured and manipulated to suggest the ephemeral nature of temporal and spatial realities, ghostly memories of times long since vanished.
