Crossed perspectives on China : exhibition of Marc Riboud and Martin Parr at Forte di Bard, Italy

Exhibition : “China. From Cultural Revolution to super power” Martin Parr – Marc Riboud

Production : Magnum Photos and Forte di Bard

Adress : Forte di Bard, 11020 Bard, Aosta Valley, Italy

 

How to tell the story of a country like China: so vast, populous, diverse in its landscapes and in the peoples who make it up, so eternal and so changing? For this exhibition, we made a bet: we asked Martin Parr to select images from Marc Riboud’s archives and to add a selection from his personal archives. Without being exhaustive, these two proposals give a clear idea of the development of China from the 1950s to the present day, from an idealistic, inward-looking country to a superpower competing with the United States.
