After first successful exhibition at ShanghART H-Space in 2005, Hu Yang’s intensive documentation on life in Shanghai’s homes is on view again at Wu Jiao Chang 800 Art Space.  

The featured photographs take on an anthropological and sociological approach that attempts to describe the dramatic changes of domestic living that occurred following the process of modernization and the Open Door policy. The photographs work as cultural documents as well as aesthetic objects that give us an almost voyeuristic view into a group of diverse private spheres ranging from migrant worker’s dwellings to the domiciles of foreign diplomats and successful business people. The photographs are contextualized with captions that quote inhabitants from conversations with the photographer prior to the shoot. Meanwhile, this complete series of the work now is in the "Collection of the Queensland Art Gallery".
For this exhibition, the original set of 100 photos has been extended by 20 additional photos.
