The photographer Adrian Fisk recording of China �� young photographer Adrian Fisk recording of China �� young photographer Adrian Fisk recording of China �� young photographer Adrian Fisk recording of China �� young man who they are they thinking? 2003, Fisk leaving for India, where he began to mysterious Oriental groups, youth exploration of social and cultural expansion. Also at this time, China Youth thought his fascination, "who they are? how do they see their lives?" in the summer of 2008, Fisk to China, walking 12500 km, take 46 photos. Everywhere, he offered to make 16 to 30-year-old Chinese man, give them a piece of paper, for writing down ideas and to take pictures. When does half sentence Chinese Fisk will paper pen a Chinese young people, the boy almost crazy. "The United Kingdom man would like to do?" for Fisk, how to eliminate the barriers is the order he felt God �� not just Westerners and Chinese barriers, but also as the two Gulf between classes. Herald Leader: what do you think so? Fisk: I'm very interested in Asia, but also for young people interested. I have lived in India for a period of time, have a question for a long time, is how to understand the essence of Asian young people thought and the formation of this kind of thought process. India 30 years stay free of charge as a whole number is approximately 11 million ~ 12 million people, this is almost a global population of 5/1! you will how to treat such a special and large group? how can I know who they are, what?, as a photographer, I ask myself how to answer, the result is that you can do a group photo album, through the camera to observe social bottom, middle class, Regal, as in the Office, on the Prairie, disco in different photographs. Q: what inspired you? A: is a man called Ji li Barnwell LAM's United Kingdom artist gave me insights and inspiration. In her work "can tell you a real idea of slogans, and not let your left-handed slogans, JI Li-an in London's streets randomly selected past pedestrian, ask whether they are willing to write down on paper their ideas, and lift the paper she filmed. I think I can learn from her thoughts, and in doing the same things, to the ages of 16-30-year-old young man with a piece of paper, and be able to directly reflect their thoughts in the most clear and concise. I want to do some challenging issues, reaching out to Chinese individuals and trying to find the answer �� 4.5 billion people what is what. Q: as far as you know, the Chinese people really think? A: 30 days and their contact with Exchange, there is a problem is repeatedly mentioned that family planning issues, it made me aware of family planning policy implications for young people. For example, sex shops in girl wrote, "I don't want kids," she is the only all interview people to tears. She does not want to get married, but his father would like to see as an only child, she was able to find a home in her second day of the marriage, his father died. She said that her husband is a good person, but she does not want to marry him. So she did not want child because she didn't want her children bear she had suffered. There is a guy said, "if I have a sister just fine". "Why do people want to get married," this is another girl, she is also experiencing the same with the other child. The photographer Adrian Fisk recording of China �� young photographer Adrian Fisk recording of China �� young photographer Adrian Fisk recording of China ��Young photographer Adrian �� Fisk Chinese position, China style jungle, steppes, plateau, cities, towns, villages, fields, 30 days, Fisk maximizing access to every corner of China, as well as where the survival of people to settle down. Often to a Department, he and translation will stop to drink tea, and observe the surroundings. A person looks very interesting, Fisk will say: "David, we try this person", and his translation will go past, introduce yourself and explain them to do. Surprisingly, most people had nodded their solicitation. Q: will choose depending on the circumstances and background picture site? A: does. I want to do is let them feel comfortable, because there will always be photographed more or make people uncomfortable. I have to do is not only take pictures, but also to make their ideas. You can see, most of the photos in the background are private occasions, since that would enable them to achieve best State, will also be more comfortable. Q: and the China Youth exchanges have difficulty? A: no, no problem, because I have translated. In fact, progress in the most difficult is that this is a test of endurance and perseverance, the average daily itinerary is 417 km, this is only a small part is done through seated aircraft. Most of the train, taxi, motorbike, MA (Inner Mongolia), daily average sleep for 5 to 6 hours. Wake open their eyes at that moment, I think the iSpeakChina, close your eyes slept, didn't stop thinking. Another problem is that for every person you meet, I want to go inside, but let people honestly talk is not easy, but is also accompanied by a continuous journey. In my 15 year career, this is probably the most I've done difficult, but I have to say this is I've done the most meaningful thing. Q: what kind of communication do you feel is perfect? A: I am a foreigner, so many people answer questions when first thought is that they represent, such as a political professional guy said: "the cultural differences between East and West is large, do not tell us what to do!" obviously, he said this is because I am a foreigner, but his position was representative of China. I young people how to communicate with the world. They do not want confrontation between East and West and the East-West confrontation, the West so I could feel they want is a whole. But at the same time, they do not want the West tell them what to do, what to do, how they want to own. This is good. But I have to say that the Chinese people to come from the Western media have some distortion of information, of course, in the Western media for a political reason indeed be demonizing China, but there are a large part of the report is positive. But sometimes I feel that Chinese people only hear some negative from Western media reports, this is also why people angry. Many Westerners are wrong for Fisk, 30 days in China, he totally new understanding of a part of the country. Yes, even if he made the acquaintance of this country's young people, understanding their ideas, or even know what their favorite expression, Fisk more willing to believe that they can see, the mere image, but not the whole of China. "I don't know previously for Chinese stereotype from where", of course, he has yet to understand, how to find a perfect way to communicate, let them finish thinking without hindrance of collision and exchanges from the heart. We know that he is still on the road, his curiosity for the world, perhaps will never stop. Q: which travel to let you know about what China? A: the entire trip was very interesting. Now most people talk about the topic is China and India. So for me, personally to China to see and to feel the difference between China and India will be an interesting experience. When I came to China and see the difference, I am completely astonished, China than India developed much, at least in the development of more than 20 to 25 years in India. To my surprise the China, not just geographically but that when you walk into the city and found himself being tall buildings around, everything around it. I realized that the future of China to the world how important, not only in economic but also political and cultural. This experience made me realize that to truly understand something, you have to that country or to get to know people in that country. Q: in this project, you been to China? A: no, this is the first time I set foot on Chinese soil. Before some people told me that the Chinese people are not very friendly. I also do a mental preparation. But then I found that people are so friendly and kind. Exchanges between China and the West is a different way. If you can't understand this, you cannot understand the real China. And I think this is a lot of Westerners mistakes, they will open their minds to understand Chinese, who is, in fact they just need to convert your way to communicate. I do, I see the Chinese people are very positive.
