Happy news to start the new year with: The fourth book of my publishing project Kult Books, Orange Street by Johannes Frandsen is out! Orange Street is a portrait book of the thousands of street cleaning workers in Beijing.
I first met Johannes and saw the work about a year ago in a pop-up group exhibition in Stockholm. From the first moment I simply loved the project–the concept is fantastic and the humane way of portraying the workers is captivating and touching. Right there and then I thought the project would make a fantastic photo book.
Holding the book now in my hands makes me very happy and proud. It feels like I personally know some of these hard working street cleaners, so well has Johannes portrayed them. And the text by a Beijing-based editor Chilly Chin puts the work into larger context by explaining the meaningfulness of the work from a local’s perspective. I hope many of you get to see Orange Street in real life!
