A documentary film by Boris Austin about the making of a 30 Page "China Special" for Dutch Magazine Onze Wereld.
This project was Curated By Pieter vander Houwen, A dutch Photographer and teacher www.pietervanderhouwen.nl and Boris Austin A British Photographer based In China
"Our concept for this special is "intimacy". We believe that by using work by either indigenous Chinese or western photographers who have been "embedded" we are able to get much closer to our subjects as the projects are generally long term. We think this is an exciting time to showcase such work."
The July / August 2008 Issue of Onze Wereld is now published.
