Alfredo Cunha

Alfredo Cunha is one of Portugal’s most important and recognized documentary photographers, with over 50 years of professional practice. At the end of January he will be launching a fantastic new book to celebrate the 50th anniversary of 25 April, with a beautiful Vhils cover based on his iconic photograph of Salgueiro Maia.
Meanwhile, the Museum of Neo-Realism in Vila Franca de Xira is hosting an excellent exhibition “Photographo” by Alfredo Cunha, curated by David Santos, which I highly recommend. Not to be missed.
The book on which the exhibition is based was published by Imprensa Nacional in the renowned PH collection.

As part of this year’s Jimei-Arles Festival, a notable exhibition is a set of four photographs from Feng Jianguo’s 2003 project “Traveling Road to the East”.
According to the side information provided by the organisation “Feng Jianguo is Professor, Doctoral Supervisor, Department of Information Art and Design, Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua University. He is also a member of the Photographic Art Committee of the China Photographers Association. In 2006, he earned an award for his “Outstanding Contribution to China’s Photography since the Founding of the PRC” by the China Photographers Association. In 2012, he won the 9th Golden Statue Award for China Photography jointly presented by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Photographers Association.
“Since 1996, Feng Jianguo has been using an 8x10-inch large-format Camera and black-and-white film to shoot the series of works entitled
“Traveling Road to the West.” Photography is a unique way of viewing the world. An old and heavy camera and the somewhat clumsy but ritualistic way of viewing the world brought by it correspond exactly to his dream-seeking state of mind and pilgrimage rituals in Western China. Through his skillful control of large-format black-and-white photography, based on which he seeks to use the most concise method to achieve a photographic expression that is “straight from the heart,” Feng has been continuously exploring the philosophical subject of photographic creation.”

RongRong is one of the most important photographers in contemporary Chinese art. Before his partnership with Inri, RongRong signed important works that are milestones in the history of photography, particularly those made in the first half of the 1990s, when the community around the so-called Beijing East Village was very active. At this year’s Jimei-Arles Festival, RongRong, who is also one of the co-founders of the Festival, is showing some iconic photographs from this period.

Jimei-Arles 2023: an excellent photography festival in Xiamen, China, which I have the privilege of attending as a guest of the organisation. It’s some of the best photography in China, in a partnership between the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre and the Rencontres d’Arles.
