  • Shanghai based photographers Ji Weiyu and Song Tao, aka Birdhead, make art about everyday life in their home town. The duo take us on a tour around the Chinese city to discover how they work.
    In 2004 artists Ju Weiyu (born 1980) and Song Tao (born 1979) began to collaborate as the photographic duo Birdhead. They were both born in Shanghai and both graduated from the Shanghai School of Arts and Crafts in 2000.
    Using the medium of photography to capture and make sense of their experience of daily life in the metropolis of Shanghai, they create large volumes of snapshot-style images showing their existence within the contemporary urban environment.

    I just wish I could get the music from that middle section as a loop. Though I love watching these short art documentaries, I also hate it because there are often bits of background music that are so subtle and moving, but there's no way to isolate them and obtain them for personal use.

      Try Shazam and start at 5:51 till the end I think it has enough time for the app to pick it up. It might work just an idea.

    when they said they were in their late 30s i couldn't stop laughing because they have the posture of arrogant 16 year olds. some of the photos are great though.

      I think it's a culture thing. I find Moyra Davey speaking more annoying.

      I can't stop laughing at this comment. Ever seen a rebellious photographer who didn't give a shit about conformity or over done conceptual work? Marcel Duchamp gave the world a fucking toilet claiming its art is he a one year old lol 🤣😂.

    Great, very happy to hear artists call out the propaganda that passes as art everywhere.

    嘴巴說的藝術 這種自己冠以名的作品 別說藝術 連一般的紀實人文都比他強多了 如果自我就是藝術的話 那就太淺了 觀點是必要的 但攝影是另一個個體的故事 不是你認為就對了 一張好作品 也不需要其他數量的附和 他本身就有靈魂 連攝影都不懂 還談藝術

    they should learn to be modest... I am not against their point of view, but the way they said it is a bit off-putting. but well what do I know
