May 16, 2021, I was busy gardening so decided to make some lumen prints. Each of these prints feature three scans of the process, the plants and paper in the printing frame after exposure, the unfixed prints and the fixed prints. They were exposed for approximately 2 and a half hours in bright sun. The paper used was Kodak Portralure G double weight, expired in 1975.

Yue Minjun, with Fang Lijun, is one of the most important Beijing-based artists of the Chinese avant garde. He is part of the key movement of the post-1989 era in Chinese avant garde art - Cynical Realism. Cynical Realism developed in the aftermath of the events of 1989 which included not only the demonstrations at Tiananmen Square but also the closure earlier that year of the “China Avant Garde” exhibition at the China National Gallery in Beijing by the authorities. As the 1980s were characterised by great idealism and hope in the artistic community that they would be able to contribute to the regeneration of Chinese culture, the 1990s were characterised by a loss of idealism, a more ironical or personal viewpoint and a greater detachment from any regeneration of society or culture.
Yue Minjun’s works are instantly recognizable by the characteristic laughing figure, actually the artist himself, depicted in various guises in virtually all his works. The figure has more teeth than one could possibly want, like the expensive smiles of fashion models advertising the latest whitening power of a toothpaste brand. This figure also shares the exaggerated nature of these advertising images. Yue Minjun’s trademark smile is many things at once. It is hilarious and infectious yet cynical and mocking. It appears superficial, mindless, even ridiculous but is deeply revealing and compelling. There are instant parallels to be drawn with the Social Realist propaganda posters of earlier eras of communism. There are the bright colours, the intense enthusiasm in the expressions of the figures and the implied joy and total fulfilment if one adopts the message of the poster/painting as one’s own mission.
Ok, this set of images are not the most avant garde when it comes to daring experimentation but still enjoying the idiosyncrasies of this little camera and the little visual gems it keeps producing. One very delighted monkey.
lots of them flying above our head!
These are the first photo's with my camera Minolta XG2. I used an expired film from 1991. The settings of my camera weren't always right because I never worked with such a camera before. But I'm happy with the results already and I can't wait to make more photo's and try more things out :)
when my dog died this cat come in my house , it's not a abandoned cat but he's always in my house since 2 years !
It comes and goes but he had no name . Since I saw the beautiful photo of ziggy the Weidong's cat , when I saw "my" cat that made me think of ziggy :) so I decided to call it Weidong as a tribute !
