My Beauty by Wang Yiqun
Wang Yiqun’s newest book My Beauty was released last night. In this female portrait series, every model poses easefully toward the camera with her face covered by long black hair. It might easy for us to associate the work by the Chinese artist with the derivation unknown tale, … inquired the way of a long haired girl in a dark woods and she turned to you with her face looked the same as the back of the head, or with the famous Buddhist proverb, turn back and the shore is close at hand. While Wang would like to leave his statement absent, the book has included extracted reviews by three curators and critics, who give of their perspectives of the work.
Wang, a New York based artist produced the project between the summer of 2007 and the spring of 2008 in U.S.. The selected pieces from the body of work have been exhibited in New York City and Shanghai, China. This is the second book Wang self-published in association with ONEs.

"被写体との不思議な距離感が魅力的な一冊です。 [An album fascinatingly shows mysterious sense of distance from the objects.]"
"Throughout the book we’re taken in a trance-like state around a dream filled New York City. When we arrive everything is silent, people move around us without making a noise. No one looks us in the eye, no one even notices we’re there. Strange things are happening, dozens of people cross the street dressed as angels and no one bats an eyelid. After wandering through the secret areas of Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn we go down to the subway and embark on a silent journey out to the sea. With long shadows on the sandy beach, we wake up before sunset."
"[The photographs] frame moments of beauty, curiosity and everydayness in a democratic view of the diverse spaces of Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens."
