The only international collection of the work of Ren Hang (1987-2017), who was born in Changchun, Jilin Province, and lived and worked in Beijing. In a brief career of six years his surreal, startling, gender-fluid images gained a huge international following and some 90 exhibitions; before this book he had self-published sixteen monographs in tiny print runs. The book covers his entire practice, from well-loved favourites to many never-before-seen photographs, showing naked subjects in unconventional outdoor settings such as trees, rooftops and urban locations, and it explores his pioneering approach to gender-fluid representation and creative expression amid political constraints in contemporary China.

ABOUT

The project

SpineIndex is an archive of independent books on photography and visual culture: photobooks, publications, design books and self-published editions — the kind of work that rarely makes it into bookshop windows or mainstream catalogues. It exists to document, connect, and keep visible a world of publishers, artists, and makers who operate outside conventional distribution. A living reference for anyone who takes this territory seriously — collectors, researchers, students, and the simply curious.

Images and rights

Covers, interior pages and descriptions are shown to introduce and identify the books, always crediting publisher, author and photographer and linking back to the publisher. We ask publishers for their permission, and we remove anything on request within 7 days. If you are a publisher, an author or a photographer and you want something changed or removed, write to info@spineindex.it.
