Borderland is a series by Chinese photographer Jiehao Su. The images explore the boundaries between the real and the imaginary, something Su cites an obsession for. "I use both fiction and nonfiction as themes in my work to rebuild my self-awareness by trying to represent a version of homeland, as well as finding comfort through reconnection to the past." By seeing his home for more than it seems on the surface and combining both urban and rural aspects, Borderland is a diverse body of work that shows us China beyond the smog.
