DREAM MACHINE - Ruben Lundgren
Dream Machine presents a vast collection of Chinese portrait photographs taken behind cardboard machines over the last century. In photo studios across the country, no effort was spared to recreate a modern atmosphere with two-dimensional imitations of the latest fashionable machines: from the first motorcycles in the 1940s to airplanes in the 1960s and televisions in the 1980s. Not only does this kitschy album brilliantly signify China's continuing desire for the new, but an even more transcendental truth: that seeing is believing, and believing is seeing.
