Nobody Spaces

  • Photographer
    Charles Chao Wang

This project is about the relationship and interaction between spaces and people. Inspired by the lockdown imposed in Shanghai during the pandemic. In the prolonged isolation, people's lives are disconnected from the outside world, each domestic space becomes their own little world, and the connection between the living space and the isolated people is magnified as never before. Domestic spaces include multiple meanings to people. The artist would like to explore the individual characteristics of people's domestic spaces and how they reflect their personal identities.

Charles Chao Wang is a London-based photographer as well as an artist, graduated from the University of the Arts London. His work draws from his own experiences and memories, and is influenced by a variety of fields including sociology, philosophy and psychology, in which concerns about social inequality and abuse of power can be seen. He offers a powerful social commentary, as well as an opportunity for spiritual healing, enabling the viewer and the artist himself to reflect on and respond to societal challenges.
