Robert Hall presents "Ghosts of the Elders", a collection of alternative process photographs of China's growing middle class and the ebb of their traditional way of life. Ben Fulton of the Salt Lake Tribune writes:
"China transforming
As the rest of the world wilts under the weight of economic recession, China flexes its newfound muscle in the form of an emerging middle class. But, it turns out, not without cost. Land use is perhaps the most visible marker of the economic giant's most wracking changes, Utah-based fine-arts photographer Robert Hall discovered on a recent trip. As the country's new urbanism comes alive, ancestral homes, farms and even burial grounds are either moved or left behind. Concrete replaces open fields, and tradition becomes more dormant. Hall's handmade images, rendered using 19th-century darkroom techniques, take on an almost archival feel appropriate to the themes of his subject matter. Collected and titled under "Ghosts of the Elders," this Gallery Stroll exhibition is the art lover's perfect excuse to become more familiar with a nation all of us will know more about in years to come.
