Liu Xia only photographs in black and white. Her images are enigmatic. Even though she sees herself as a non-political citizen of China, her work is full of allusions to the repressive conditions the Chinese people are subject to. It is easy to detect influences from both the West and from China in her oeuvre. In the same way that the country is torn between the ideologemes of this new age, Liu Xia's work reflects this dichotomy with an unusual, rather enchanted clarity.
