Justin Ming Yong's first book of photography captures Qingming (Pure Brightness) festival in China.
Yong finds himself at the centre of something he is connected to historically and is disconnected from his own personal experience. There is an emotional immediacy to Yong's photographs. They reveal a world both of and profoundly alien to him.
Pure Brightness is a uniquely topical book about our own desires to feel connected to roots that we are utterly disconnected from.
