Spanish-born, London-based photographer and conceptual artist Cristina De Middel (born 1975) follows the colossal success of her 2012 volume The Afronauts—a self-publishing phenomenon that was voted best photo book of that year by photo-eye Bookstore—with Party, a portrait of present-day China modeled on Mao Tsetong’s Red Book. De Middel uses the structure of Mao’s book (as well as its iconic design) to create a photo-narrative interspersed with adapted quotations from Mao. As she describes it: "I decided to adapt this historic political statement … by censoring and hiding the parts of the text that are no longer in force and highlighting some other redesigned sentences that, for me, form a more accurate portrait of the People’s Republic of China in the twenty-first century."
