Wuhan before Wuhan captures a transformation process, both personal and photographic, of the Spanish photographer Jorquera, who reached in 2007 this Chinese city, at that time completely unknow for the West. He chose Wuhan, located in the country's hinterland, far from the megacities like Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong, in order to settle there and create bonds, to focus on a more doable place, nestle into the context. But the lack of referents and communication led him to feel isolated, and isolation led to disorientation. Thus Jorquera began to undertake a more introspective odyssey, a journey inwards, where Wuhan represents something very basic yet universal: the quest for identity. AUTHOR: Born in Pontevedra (Spain) in 1972, Jorquera is one of the great names in young contemporary Spanish photography. A founding member of the Nophoto collective and editor of various publications, his professional work is focused on China since 2002. His work Wuhan before Wuhan, his most ambitious to date, comes after nine years living in the city. The photographic essay is organised into interior and exterior atmospheres, into moods that shape an autobiographical story that is simultaneously a quest and a pathway of interpretation. His intention was to break through where there are no recognisable coordinates or familiar parameters, and throughout the process he managed to settle, to build himself. To inhabit oddness. 215 images.
