In Beijing, French collector and artist Thomas Sauvin has saved from destruction close to a million anonymous negatives dating from the 1980s — when analog cameras became widely accessible — to the advent of digital photography in the 2000s. Through this exceptional archive, we witness the everyday life of hundreds of Chinese middle-class, urban households. It is a window on the 30-year economic boom of the post-maoist period, from the point of view of ordinary people.
With the participation of Liang Shixin and Thomas Sauvin.
