明信片 postcard:　A Rodney Evans solo exhibition

Postcard is an album of Rodney Evans’ travel shots that comprise four years of shooting in China and has evolved over two series of work – ‘Tourrorist’ and ‘Park Stories’. Since arriving in China in 2005, the Shanghai based photographer has spent his spare time traveling through provincial China documenting the way in which Chinese spend their leisure time.

Fascinated with Chinese vacationers who prefer to capture themselves in-front of the monumental view rather then the view itself, ‘Tourrorist’ began as documentary but evolved into a more considered study of portraits set in popular leisure destinations. Motivated by the inability to isolate a frame without people, Evans turned his camera on the tourists, encapsulating them in their environment.
