Feelings in deep China

(Shanghai Daily)

This is China you can feel. Photographer Alexandre Misseri's "Feelings in
Deep China" portrays deep feelings-his own and those of people he
encounters in very remote parts of the country where few people venture,
but many should.

Although most expats are familiar with the dazzling lights of Shanghai
and the countryside of Hangzhou, few have traveled to the really remote
parts of China.

Now, however, a new photography exhibition offers a glimpse of relatively
unknown parts of the country with Alexandre Misseri's "Feelings in Deep
China."

"I chose this topic because it allowed me to express different feelings I
personally had when I visited those parts of China and also the feelings
people have in those places," he explains.

Every picture is the story of an encounter. "If I have taken a picture,
it means that I have felt something special meeting this person or place.
And usually, my strongest pictures reflect the moments where I had the
strongest feelings."

Moving to Shanghai nearly three years ago, Misseri has already
participated in three exhibitions.

This exhibition displays 20 images taken from his travels in Yunnan
Province and the southeastern part of Guizhou Province.

"China is a real paradise for photographers: It offers a variety of
subjects, people are open to portrayal, and for foreigners, the scenery
in towns and outside are often pretty different than those back home.
Taking pictures is always an adventure, because you can never expect what
situations you are going to meet," Misseri says.

He hopes everyone will leave the exhibition with a picture in mind, a
picture that will put a smile on their face every time they think about
it later. "I also hope it will remind everyone there are other places in
China beside Shanghai, that are beautiful, that must be respected and
sometimes helped."
