River Stories is a series of 12 sixty-second digital films that unveil unseen aspects of Yan Wang Preston’s Mother River project.
About
Commissioned by Impressions Gallery, the films reveal unpredictable physical expeditions, artistic struggles and first-hand stories of life in modern China across diverse geographical terrains.
Originally exhibited at Impressions in 2017, Mother River is a photographic odyssey taking the viewer on a journey along China’s Yangtze River. Fearless in her approach, Yan travelled the entire 6,211km length of the Yangtze, stopping every 100km to take a picture on her large plate camera. The result is an astonishing look at the whole inner life of China composed and shot with great skill and ingenuity in often the most adverse conditions.
