features a display of several rare books about the photographer’s incendiary work. Though he did not seek out controversy with his images, they attracted attention from the Chinese authorities and saw Ren arrested several times for shooting nude photographs outside. “My pictures’ politics have nothing to do with China.

Often interacting with nature – plants, flowers, fruits, animals – Ren’s subjects were mostly his friends.
