XIAOXIAO XU LIFE ALONG THE LONG WALL

Photographer Xiaoxiao Xu’s journey along the Great Wall of China has resulted in two projects: Shooting the Tiger (2014) and Watering My Horse by a Spring at the Foot of the Long Wall (2017-2018). The 25,000 km road trip was part of Xu’s exploration of the country of her birth. Her compassion for the people she met around the wall and the stories she tells about them reveal a part of Chinese culture and society through the eyes of someone who looks at it with both distance and recognition. With Life Along the Long Wall, Fotomuseum Den Haag is presenting Xu’s first solo museum exhibition.
