Genda continues its intersection of Western and Eastern culture by offering a platform for accidental, compressed and distant, yet dangerously similar documents. The images here live in relation to the spaces they inhabit. The scene, which can be found or constructed, suggests an action leaving a “before” and an “after” immediately perceptible in the photograph, with its background, its environment and its conditions. This issue features photographers Todd Hido, Federico Clavarino, Morgan Ashcom, Zhao Qian, Zhu Mo, Yishu Wang, Claudio Gobbi, Zhang Xiao, Ronghui Chen, Matteo Mastronardi, Sarah Pickering, Amiko Lee, Yifan Hu and Pietro Mattioli.
