m97 Gallery Shanghai is pleased to present WANG NINGDE’s completed photography series “SOME DAYS”. The exhibition begins on May 14, 2011, and m97 Gallery will hold an opening reception for the artist on Saturday May 14 from 4:00 to 6:00pm in the gallery.

Wang Ningde’s "Some Days" series is some of the most iconic work to come out of the Chinese contemporary photography scene in the last decade. Resembling film stills of a sedate noir fantasy whereby childhood memory, fear, and reverie are folded into the serene trappings of an anonymous historical past, these works have the effect of a reoccurring daydream. Starting out as a news photographer in Guangdong, Wang captured the tragedy and drama of everyday life. In this extreme departure from the stark realism of the everyday news beat, the artist presents a fictitious narrative of his own subconscious someday. Wang’s “Some Days” series has been exhibited at and collected by numerous important institutions worldwide.
