The UK-based Archive of Modern Conflict collects materials dating all the way from prehistoric
times to the present day. As the subject matter and topics multiply, they intersect in surprising ways
to reveal stories about the nature of our world. This exhibition brings together a selection of various
photographic work that illuminates forgotten corners of our cultural life, such as Indian portraits
colored by hand, photos by a Chinese special effects make-up artist, and an album of a Mexican
wrestler. AMCʼs complete assortment of photo books will be on display and their recent publication
on China, “Happy Tonite” will be presented as a slide show. A special photo studio designed for the
occasion will allow visitors to interact with the exhibition.

域——从史前到当代的各种相互交缠的题材，编织出一个个关于我们周遭世界的最自然，却又令人意
想不到的故事。这次展览融汇一系列多元化的摄影作品，映照出我们文化生活之中被时间遗忘的角
落，当中包括印度的手绘人像摄影、一名中国特技化妆师的作品选辑、墨西哥的蒙面职业摔角手的相
册等珍奇影像。这次展览还会展出AMC 的所有出版刊物，包括以幻灯片形式呈现近期推出的中国画
册《欢乐今宵》。除此之外，观众更可以使用一个专门为这次展览设计的摄影棚。
