In the years since then, Ian Tehs images of China have changed. The more he travelled, the less he sought to focus on the individuals swept up in the countrys transformations. He was looking, he told me, for a way to capture the price we ultimately pay or will eventually pay for our collective ambitions... He travelled along the Yellow River, the soul of a nation, as he called it, which was running so low that, in 1997, it failed for the first time to reach the sea. Eventually, he went to the origins, to the rivers source, depicted in his latest work here and in an exhibit, Traces: Navigating the Frontline of Climate Change, on view at Photoville, in Brooklyn.
