Born in Liaoning province's capital of Shenyang, Luo Yang travels around China, and occasionally Europe, taking photos of Asian women. Through these images, which often pose the subjects partially clothed, atop overpasses, in back alleys, on rooftops, or simply relaxing at home, Yang hopes to capture the exceptional, the benign, and most importantly, the truthful fragments of what compose modern women (Asian or otherwise), emboldening and unhinging them from any preconceived ideas of weakness and subordination, one that sadly remains pervasive in both the East and West.

Now, alongside pop-up gallery organizer MO-Industries and crowdfunded via Kickstarter, Luo Yang has selected 80 of her favorite GIRLS images to make up her second book. At the time of writing, the campaign only has a few days left but is well on its way to a successful backing and will be released in November this year.

If you would like to see a selection of the works that will make up Luo Yang's new book, The Opposite House and MO-Industries will hold an exhibition in the ground level and basement atriums from Oct 13-24 (opening Oct 12, 6.30pm).
