Gao Shans prisvindende fotobog “The Eighth Day” tager sit navn fra fotografens personlige historie – på den ottende dag efter hans fødsel blev Shan adopteret af sin nye mor.

Begrænset til kun 400 eksemplarer!

Mens han voksede op, var Shans forhold til sin mor ofte ligegyldigt og afvisende. Men da han rettede sit kamera mod sin mor, begyndte han at forstå de unikke nuancer i hendes levde erfaring. I The Eighth Day bruger den unge fotograf sit kamera ikke som et observationsinstrument men som et værktøj til at bryde deres forhold op og aktivt bringe dem tættere sammen. En intim, rørende og gribende fotografisk skildring af at se og blive set for første gang.

Awards:
- The Eighth Day var vinderen af Aperture First Photobook Award 2019.
- I 2016 modtog Gao Shan New Talent Award for sit værk ”The Eighth Day”, samlet af Fondation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain, Paris.

Gao Shan’s award-winning photobook “The Eighth Day” takes its name from the photographer’s personal history – on the eighth day after his birth, Shan was adopted by his new mother.

Limited to just 400 copies!

While growing up, Shan’s relationship with his mother was often indifferent and aloof. But, when he turned his camera on his mother, he started to understand the unique nuances of her lived experience. In the Eighth Day, the young photographer uses his camera not as an instrument for observation but as a tool to break open their relationship and actively bring them closer together. An intimate, touching, and poignant photographic portrayal of seeing and being seen for the first time.

Awards:
-The Eighth Day was the winner of the 2019 Aperture First Photobook Award.
– In 2016, Gao Shan received the New Talent Award for his body of work “The Eighth Day,” collected by Fondation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain, Paris.
