STELES / HUANG YI PROJECT - Taca Sui
This work by Chinese photographer Taca Sui focuses on the stone steles that played a crucial role in documenting Chinese history. In this case, Taca Sui was inspired by Qing dynasty imperial bureaucrat Huang Yi (1744-1802), who in his spare time was also an amateur archaeologist, painter, poet and calligrapher. In the last years of the 18th century, he made two journeys in which the focus was on documenting stelae mainly located in Shandong and Henan provinces. Through his travel diaries, paintings and rubbings, he provided a valuable record of cultural objects that might otherwise have disappeared altogether. To plan his own travels, Taca consulted Huang Yi's Diary on Visiting Steles near Mount Song and the Luo River and Diary on Visiting Historical Steles from Jining to Tai'an.
