About
Mother’s Land is a collection of dioramas, of unscripted scenes in which we see a shifting 2010s China unfold before our eyes. It is, also, the result of a long, introspective journey that led Daniel Lee Postaer in search of a missing part of his identitythe one left behind by his grandparents who, more than fifty years earlier and fleeing the communist regime, could take along a daughter, but were forced to abandon another.
In search of this “other half,” Postaer lived in China in the early 2000s, and returned several times in the second half of the 2010s, becoming a first-hand witness to the countrys contemporary developments.
