The Great Wall of China

"Chen Changfen (b. 1941) began to photograph the Great Wall twenty years before the Chinese government officially adopted it as the national symbol in 1984... Combining a unique blend of traditional and contemporary technical processes, Chen{u2019}s ... photographs at once celebrate the remarkable series of building campaigns that produced the Wall and memorialize the thousands of conscripted laborers whose lives were sacrificed to its construction."--Publisher description.
