Meng Jin was born in 1973 in Chongqing, China and currently works in Beijing, China. Meng Jin’s photographs explore the artist’s fascination with urban life, architecture, memory, and the relationship between object and their social context.
His Love Hotel series, in collaboration with artist Fang Er, features photographs of improvised, spontaneous sculptures combined with existing objects in rented love hotel rooms. The series explores the two artists’ ongoing interest in urban life, architecture, memory and found objects, and the inter-relationship between physical buildings, objects and their social context.
