Taken between the years of 1998 and 2005, theimages in this exquisitely printed volumepresent anti-journalistic, documentary stylephotographs, some real, some staged, of everyday life, which are all at once moving,whimsical, goofy, dark, haunting, romanticand ultimately revelatory of an at timespainfully alienating yet deliriously, gorgeous and fantastical world as seen through the eyes, mind and lens of the artist.
I Have a Room with Everything traces of intense consciousness overlap reality and trigger Bonajo’s as well as the viewer’s imagination. “Photography for meis never intended to gain the upper hand,” says Bonajo, “but a way of sculpting mentallife.” For Bonajo, taking the photograph isalmost like a ritual, a supreme momentumin which there is an extended awareness ofthe different layers and meanings of reality.

Wear is a new independent artist-run publication from Beijing. In part a documentation of a series of public activities, discussions and interventions organised at HomeShop space during the 2008 Olympic Games, the first issue of Wear also serves as a broader platform to invite other artists, writers and contributors to reflect upon — from the point of view of a small alleyway in the centre of Beijing — a spectacular everyday amidst broader contemporary urban sociopolitics.
