Ambivalent Borderland Photography

Jiehao Su Photographs Between Borders in His Latest Series

— November 10, 2014 — Fashion
Jiehao Su photographs between the borders of urban and rural areas in modern China for his latest series.

'Borderlands' is essentially an exploration of home, or where we call home. He asks, “What is home? This is a question [that] I, as a Chinese person, cannot help but ask. It is also a question that a whole generation in China who has left the homeland they have lived in for centuries would ask."

Su is primarily interested in how we make a certain place our home and the way that that location influences who we are and how we behave. There is an animated, lively relationship between people and the spaces they inhabit, and Su attempts to penetrate that unspoken bond with his photography.
Trend Themes
1. Borderland Photography - Exploring the boundaries between urban and rural areas, borderland photography offers opportunities for capturing the essence of home and the impact of location on identity.
2. Questioning Home - The question of what constitutes home becomes a focal point for artists and consumers alike, providing opportunities for creating innovative products and experiences that explore personal and cultural identities.
3. Unspoken Bonds - Delving into the unspoken connections between people and the spaces they inhabit opens up possibilities for disruptive innovations in architecture, interior design, and urban planning.
Industry Implications
1. Photography - Borderland photography presents a unique genre for photographers to capture the interplay between urban and rural areas, challenging traditional notions of home and identity.
2. Art - The exploration of home and the impact of location in art provides opportunities for artists to challenge conventional ideas and create thought-provoking installations, paintings, and sculptures.
3. Real Estate - Understanding the significance of location in shaping individual and community identities opens up possibilities for real estate developers and designers to create transformative spaces that resonate with a sense of home.
