1. Birdhead
Birdhead is an artist collective started by Song Tao and Ji Weiyu in 2004. Contrary to their surrealist name, Birdhead’s photographs concern urban reality and daily experiences, and have a signature spontaneous snap-shot aesthetic.
They capture their hometown, Shanghai, in fragments of time and space as it continues to grow in what they describe as a “wandering and repeated stare”. The daily snippets manifest their subjective views of the world and the themes they recognise in art—love, hatred, feeling, sorrow, life, ageing, sickness and death (爱恨情仇 生老病死).
