In 2004, noticing the scale of the demolition, displacement and relocation of the
Three Gorges Project, Chinese photographer Mu Ge started to focus on the
living conditions of ordinary people in the Three Gorges region. His
photographic series Going Home was nominated for the Foam Paul Huf Award
in 2011 and selected as a Juror’s Pick for the 2012 Daylight Photo Awards.
Since 2013, he has been working on Behind the Wall, a new series that takes
the destruction of the environment and the people’s survival situation under the
background of mass urbanization and industrialization in northern China as the
main concern. Mu Ge’s work has been shown in many exhibitions.
