In his photo project “Temporarily Censored Home,” Guanyu Xu secretly transformed the home of his traditionally minded parents into a brazen art installation.
The photographer Guanyu Xu grew up in Beijing, the only child of traditionally minded parents. They raised Xu, who is twenty-six, in an apartment on the seventeenth floor of a military-housing complex; Xu’s father worked for the army. As a teen-ager, Xu recalls, he was forbidden from hanging posters on his bedroom walls. Instead, he accumulated a stash of film and fashion magazines.
In the family dining room, Xu has repurposed some of his prints as placemats and, on the floral wallpaper in the background, mounted an imposing photograph of a different dinner table; the shot shows him seated beside an older man, their table strewn with rainbow petals.
