In the context of their four-month Neobiota project, video artist Christine de la Garenne (* 1973 in Karlsruhe) and installation artist Via Lewandowsky (* 1963 in Dresden) observed themselves and everyday life in Beijing with a special eye for the Other. The result is this collection of 120 photographs—poetic snapshots of a society in translation that also reflect the photographers’ own process of adaptation to a foreign culture. Ironic quips, critical comments, and humorous asides by the artists accompany the images. Cultural investigation and archiving, artistic and research-based exploration, West and East all come together in this unusual art and artists’ book.
