Dodo Jin Ming
Beijing, China, 1955
For many years, she was a professional violinist. She trained at the Royal Academy of Music and later at the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts. In 1992, having never been to an art show before, she saw an exhibition of Joseph Beuys work, and was so overcome by what she saw that she gave up the violin and became a self-taught photographer. She creates extraordinary black and white images which transport the viewer over a precipice which is about to be submerged beneath breaking waves. She prints the images from a combination of two negatives, one of the ocean, the other of the sky, intensifying the power of the impetuous waves under an engulfing sky.
