Li Zhensheng
Li Zhensheng's work is not just reportage — it asserts a personal point-of-view, a way of understanding events as they happen. Beyond simply covering the unfolding Cultural Revolution, Li gives it an epic dimension, beauty in its forms. What we first notice is the compositional quality: the square—Li often used a 2 1/4 camera—is very "full"; the image occupies the entire frame. Li mastered this notoriously difficult format, framing his shots with precision, resting his composition on the edges of the image, giving it energy, and creating tension between the different zones.
Whether using a 2 1/4 or 35mm camera, Li plays with the entire range of depths, de-centering the subject, sometimes subtly tilting the frame. Thus he organizes into visual perspective the events he photographs, generating stress between the subject and its surrounding context, between the protagonist, or protagonists of the action, and the bystanders. An approach that results from the political process then engulfing the country. Li takes photography beyond the limitations of the still image, expressing his intuitive narrative sense, but also that of movement.
