#VirtualVacation: Travel back in time to China, circa 1981. Liu Heung Shing, the Pulitzer-prize-winning photojournalist and artist, visually narrated two of the 20th century’s most defining shifts: the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of China. Regarding the black and white photograph above, taken on a 1981 assignment in China, he shares that the student captured ‘was seemingly skating past Mao as if China was on course to embrace a new direction of national development.' As a photographer, Liu’s philosophy is to explore, unravel, and reveal the beauty and complexity of the world we live in. — ‘A student skates past a statue of Chairman Mao, Dalian Institute of Technology, Liaoning Province’ (1981) is presented in our Online Viewing Rooms by @StarGallery Beijing. — To view and inquire about available works, visit bit.ly/artbaselOVR using your Art Basel account through March 25th.
