Encounters in China EP09 Yann Na 塞纳河畔遇知音

There are lots of crossborder friendships and in some sense, it is these friendships that build understanding between people from different countries and make the world a better place. For more about these encounters between Chinese and people from other country, please check out the series Encounters in China from the playlist Yann Layma is a famous French photographer, while Na Risong is an independent curator in Beijing. They became friends in 1998 during a photo shoot in Guizhou. Na Risong came all the way to America to publish a photo collection for Yann, and when Yann was not in a good state, Na Risong helped him restore his confidence by holding a largescale solo exhibition of his works. Art is borderless, and in Yanns works, the stories about the tranformation that has happened in China over the past decades are vividly shown. If you like our channel, you may subscribe to it at
