Wang Yingying’s parents met when her father was exiled to Wangqiao for 17 years as part of an anti-right campaign. After the Cultural Revolution, her father returned to Peking while she, her mother and brother remained in Hangzhou. The distance eventually led to her parents’ divorce. Deeply affected by the split, and the absence of a father figure, Wang Yingying’s work examines her own identity issues and her return to the place she was born in 2015.
Wang Yingying was born in Guantao in Hebei province in 1976. She is an independent photographer and documentary film maker. Her work is essentially biographical, focusing on women’s inner lives and fates. She has an art degree and she lives and works in Hangzhou.
