Ren Hang, who tragically took his life in 2017, was a leading figure in the battle for creative freedom among Chinese artists. This TASCHEN monograph is the first global collection of his work, featuring 312 pages of his iconic, surreal, and often controversial imagery. His photographs depict naked subjects—mostly his friends—intertwined with nature, animals, and mundane objects in compositions that are both starkly clinical and vibrantly poetic. The book covers his entire brief but prolific six-year career, documenting a world of “gender euphoria” and rebellion against traditional morality.
