JT／Biography
JT, photographer, was born in China. Since 2011, he lives in Paris.His photographic practice has long been concerned with marginalized groups in the society and is devoted to exploring the relations between social issues such as poverty, urbanization, new immigrants and special ethnic groups.
In 2015, a private photography project on Chinese folk orphanages started to be produced. It spanned more than a dozen counties and cities and villages in several provinces in China. The project systematically recorded the unofficial abandonment mechanism adopted by Chinese private citizens, and the living conditions of abandoned children.In the same year, another long-term photography project was started: Curse of the Wind. A History of Leprosy in China. The project adopted two methods to separately record the living environment, social structure, and pathological features of the last group of leprosy villages and communities. The item is currently being filmed.
He received the prize IPA Award China on the Gold-Category Photo Documentary in 2016. In 2019, he received the Bourse du Talent Award. His work was selected for the annual night of the 2020 Arles Photography Festival, also reported by the fisheye magazine, Arte and other media.
