Mothers in a Shanghai square brandish signs vaunting the virtues of their single sons: Yingguang Guo’s The Bliss of Conformity series focuses on arranged marriages in China. Drawing from personal as well as contemporary social experience, Yingguang Guo mixes documentary photography, video and installation to show us a social reality that is still going strong.
In 2017, Yingguang Guo was the first winner of the Prix Madame Figaro Jimei x Arles International Photo Festival.
