100 points to get Chinese and English information of Belgian photographer jos janssens.

An exhibition entitled "Meditation Attitude" by Belgian photographer Vinson du bois opened in Brussels in early February. Vincent Dubois visited China four times in five years and took a lot of photos showing the natural and cultural landscapes of rural and urban areas in China. The 30 works on display were carefully selected from these photos. How did the Belgian photographer capture unforgettable moments through black-and-white photos and show his "contemplative attitude" towards contemporary China? The reporter found Mr Vincent Dubois surrounded by visitors, so he interviewed him.

Q: What kind of China do you want to show people through photography?

A: From 200 1 to 2006, I have been to China four times. During the last two years in China, I visited many places and took many photos. Only a small part of it was exhibited this time. Unlike most western photographers, what I want to show people is a positive and hopeful China. As we all know, since the Opium War, modern China has been plagued by wars and disasters, and people living in this land have maintained an optimistic attitude towards life after suffering. Now, China is getting stronger and stronger, and the people of China enjoy unprecedented stability and freedom. What my photography works want to show is such a real, energetic and hopeful China.

Q: Why do you choose black and white photos as your expression? Which subject do you prefer, people or scenery?

A: Color photos can carry many colors, but black and white photos can only express colors and light through light and shade. Because of this, black and white photos can leave more room for imagination and let people experience the beauty of the works through imagination. Among the subjects of people and scenery, I prefer to shoot people because they are more lively.

After a short conversation with Mr Vincent Dubois, a Shanghai-themed work caught my eye. This work was shot in 2006. The background of the work is a street park surrounded by high-rise buildings. In the park, a group of old people are playing Tai Ji Chuan leisurely, and a couple in love are standing in the shade. A visitor who also stood in front of this work said that she had been to Shanghai in the early 1990s, but Shanghai at that time was not what it looked like in the photo. She was surprised at the great changes that have taken place in China during the period of 10. During the conversation, a sculptor who has never been to China also joined the conversation excitedly. He said, "Now everyone is talking about China. China, I must go and have a look with my own eyes! "

On the small table in the exhibition hall, the notes written by Vincent du bois during his trip to China are scattered, recording his feelings of talking with ordinary people in China. Simple words and sincere feelings are the best interpretation of works full of human nature. In the exhibition hall, there are an endless stream of visitors. After carefully appreciating each work, they can't help but sigh that China is changing with each passing day.
