Li Wei

This is what Li Wei says of this particular series: ’Lying on the border of China, Inner Mongolia is the largest grazing region in China. On this land live Han and Mongolian people. My affection for my hometown made me reflect on the land. Since January 2008, I have been traveling and photographing Inner Mongolia. After many travels I present you these pictures, which represent the real life of people living on the border’. We were told to find work that reflects different cultures, and I couldn't find a more different culture if I tried. I didn't know anything about these people and their way of life, but the bluntness and directness of these pictures definately gives me a big insight.
