Book DescriptionUsing only black and white film, photographer Patrizia Bonanzinga traced the path of China's coal industry that runs along the Datong-Beijing axis, and presents here a touching, yet very tough and complex view of that universe. The text that accompanies the visuals is written with the same spirit-free from militant engagement, it shows this complex human whole, so simple but also very proud. Bonanzinga sketches a picture that gives life to the Chinese coal world where human bonds are formed by the difficulty of the task at hand. Essays by Isabelle Baechler, Patrizia Bonanzinga, Paolo Longo and Roberto Salbitani. Hardcover, 8.25 x 6 in./112 pgs / 56 duotones.
