AXELLE DE RUSSÉ Photography - Chine les retour des comcubines

Details

Description

For a long time, in China, the status of a man was measured by the number of his wives: wives and concubines. In 1949, the communists condemned the practice as a sign of bourgeois decadence. But today, after two decades of economic openness, we are witnessing a return of concubines. In Chinese, they are called ernai, which means second wife. I wanted to tell in the China of the third millennium the intimate and taboo story of these young girls, prisoners of their gilded cage.
