Chongqing IV (Sunday Picnic), Chongqing Municipality . 2006
Despite the camera’s unrivalled ability to describe appearances and to stop time, Kander presents something else too, something that becomes known but cannot be seen, in the ceaseless passage of earthly time and human history. That which escapes the camera’s gaze is a source of disquiet. His work is pensive, laden with possibility. People and places are permitted to keep their secrets.
