Photography appreciation of unknown women

Lv Nan, the photographer of the photo, is temporarily known for the trilogy The Forgotten Man, On the Road and Four Seasons introduced in the visual feast column of Hummingbird. And this painting "Raise a Meter for the Unknown Mountain" created in the art circle in the early days has also made many people unforgettable for a long time. Only later, when many participants competed for the copyright of this work for economic benefits, Lv Nan unexpectedly gave up its "copyright" and refused to sign for himself.

Everyone was speculating about his actions at that time. I think it may be because of the thorough change of his artistic concept, so that "conceptual photography" that records performance art more or less is not the correct way of photography, but also a youthful experiment with unstable artistic concept. For an artist, the view of art is the most important, which is mainly reflected in specific works. Lv Nan didn't want to sign his name or give up his copyright in his early work "Raise a Meter for the Unknown Mountain", just as many famous writers or artists later "regretted that they didn't have any works" and felt that the works of youth were too naive, immature, superficial, formal, curious and artificial.

But in any case, Lv Nan's photo "The Unknown Mountain is one meter high" will always be a classic in the history of contemporary art in China.
