Hartlepool Art Gallery, Hartlepool 13 September – 9 November

For eight years, Patrick Zachmann ventured into the almost impenetrable universe of the Chinese. There, he met a host of characters who were fascinating and mysterious in the eyes of a ‘long nose’. He gradually moved away from traditional photojournalism to a more personal approach. He invented an ideal travelling companion: ‘W’ to initiate him to the secret side of a world coloured by his imagination. This exhibition is a voyage of initiation and a detective thriller.

Magnum photographer, PATRICK ZACHMANN devotes himself to long term projects which reveal the complexity of communities. His work has been published in major international press, including Time Magazine, Life, National Geographic and Rolling Stone.
