Frank Rothe: China Naked

by Christoph Tannert, Frank Rothe (Artist), Celina Lunsford

Overview

German photographer Frank Rothe has created an unusual and unique portrait of modern China. He breaks through the cliché that we think of "the Chinese" only collectively and shows nude portraits of young and old individuals of Beijing and Shanghai. Rothe then juxtaposes each portrait with a long-exposed cityscape photograph reflecting China’s mass society.
