Tales of The Home of Dragon 龙乡之间

Photo book, 12x12inch, 46pages

Installation with video and sound

Step into my hometown, Tongliang, through this photobook, where you will meet a blend of natural beauty and bustling city life. As you turn the pages, take an immersive journey through our local traditions, especially our deep-rooted connection to dragon worship. In the album's second half, I highlight how the local collective identity is reflected and reified through government initiatives and the names the mass population gives to their businesses, farmers’ markets, and schools. This book sheds light on how official and grassroots channels shape our dragon-centered identity in both the natural landscape and the built environment.
