Luo Yang, is one of the leading voices in the new wave of contemporary photography in China. Her works, offer unfiltered accounts of the innermost lives of teenagers. This work forms part of the series “Girls”, forming part of her famous and candid, snapshot-like photographs of young women in China. In China, the phrase ‘bai lan’ (擺爛) has been gaining popularity among the youth, it can be translated as ‘let it rot’. This phrase encapsulates young people’s disaffected attitude, facing a lack of economic opportunities and social mobility in the current environment – and therefore, a rejection of the ultra-competitiveness within Chinese society. ‘Ba ling hou’ (八零後), known as the generations born after 1980, mostly likely did not have brothers or sisters, but they did grow up with the internet, and eventually later, social media and forms a generation that has had a complicated relationships with the customs and culture of their elders.
