In Taipei Diary, Bialobrzeski turns his gaze on the ‘temporary capital’ of the Republic of China – a country that doesn’t exist, and yet continues to defy expectations. Taiwan is claimed by China as a province, despite having its own military, currency and democratically-elected government. Taiwan experienced its own economic boom in the 1980s, but has, since the rise of China, struggled to maintain such growth.

Peter Bialobrzeski is a world-renowned photographer and the recipient of several awards including the prestigious “World Press Photo Award” in 2003 and 2010. He is also the author of over ten photobooks, including “Cairo Diary”, “Athens Diary” and “Wolfsburg Diary”, also published by The Velvet Cell.
