Great Wall of China
Anne Wilkes Tucker
One of the most striking features of Chen?s photographs is their unexpected variety of perspectives and moods, capturing the vicissitudes of weather, time, and human history that have acted upon it. By excluding the people, highways, factories, and modern buildings that encroach on and daily destroy sections of the Wall, however, Chen eliminates major aspects of the Wall?s present reality from his pictures. In a thoughtful essay and interview with the artist, Anne Wilkes Tucker probes the meanings of such omissions and guides the reader through Chen?s extraordinary images. The Great Wall of China is essential reading for photographers, historians, and travelers.
