The screening, one of the activities during Photo Beijing 2018, shows works from 15 young photographers from home and abroad, such as the US, Canada, Spain, South Korea, Bangladesh, and India. These works, although representing "everyday" images, fully embody the young generation's reflections on the relationship between the self and the other, and between cultural and social problems.

The event was hosted by the Photographic Art Center of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and organized by the China Photographers Association (www.cpanet.org.cn), CPAnet (www.cpanet.cn) and Photointer (www. ).

The screening event is a debut, and the next stop will be the China Photography Art Festival held in Sanmenxia city in Central China's Henan province on Nov 18.

Let's take a look at the works seen at the screening.

La Mer, by Chan Wan-Chee (Hong Kong, China). (Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn)
This project is a visual diary about the photographer\'s emotions and dreams through her experiences with water. Since 2015, she\'s been going to a bay in Hong Kong every summer to swim and engage with the community there. These photographs are made during her swims in the bay. In a way, the project can be interpreted as a dreamscape from the noises of the outer world, and one looking inward into her own universe.
