Abstract

This paper examines the changing cultural and institutional conditions that have indigenized “documentary photography” in post-socialist China. It highlights the interweaving of intellectual, journalistic, and curatorial interpretations of “documentary.” It argues that the promotion of “documentary” as a genre of contemporary art in this process undermines photography’s claim to truth but is crucial to the reformulation of Chinese socialist realism.
