The Abode of Anamnesis is the highly anticipated catalog of the exhibition that sprang from the winning proposal of OCAT’s inaugural Research-based Curatorial Project (2018). The book includes all the materials from “Picturing Histories: Historical Narratives in Contemporary Chinese Photography”, the research-based exhibition project by curator He Yining, who is also the editor-in-chief of the catalog. With essays, exhibition views, artwork analyses, and materials from other events in the program, the book traces the project from its initial stage of research to the presentation of the proposal, the development of the proposal, and the final exhibition, demonstrating how a curatorial concept can be turned into a highly concentrated exhibition program with both academic and visual appeal.
“The Abode of Anamnesis” focuses on several cases in Chinese contemporary art that enter historical narratives through photography. The exhibition seeks to analyze the context in which the current trend occurs, examine the creative strategies adopted by different artists, and to explore the unique viewpoint photography offers in the construction of historical narratives from different angles. Utilizing exploring histories of individuals and families, historical events, discussing varied historical episodes, or even reflecting on the theme of photography as a medium of historical narratives, the artists in this exhibition think of themselves as archaeologists and approach their subjects from various perspectives. While revisiting, rewriting, and reconstructing history, they have also been searching for more specific cultures.
