Tomek Niewiadomski„China – The Middle Republic“ is an artistic project that combines photography exposition as well as artistic installation. The exhibition consists of fifty two pictures recording my six week journey through China at the turn of August and September 2005. Above all, I was making pictures of people in their natural environment, I strove not to interfere or arrange photographs I made. The exhibition is therefore a photo-report of a subjective nature, telling of the profound influence of the space on people and the ways they find to adapt. There are striking interconnections on the photographs between people and their environment in the mountains, towns or monasteries. While looking for places not changed by dynamic expansion of the civilazation, I show the harmony in which former cultures were functioning from ages. Contrasing all other pictures refering to traditional but constantly developing China will be the only photography forcasting new age – Shanghai.
