Chicken are not naked

More about the book

Eight artists in Beijing. A photographer from Berlin. A close-up view of how artists live in China. The photographer Stefanie Schweiger has lived in Beijing since 2012. For over a year she has shadowed artists to create an intimate photographic portrait of their lives. It lays out a nuanced panorama of China’s diverse arts scene—much of which is virtually unknown in the West—and people’s views of society in a country in which individuality is still a contentious political issue.
