Daniel isn’t just looking for a clear subject, he’s looking for images that “command attention” and raise more questions than they answer. He wants to be transported.

A picture book can only be so big.Several of my final prints from the Mother’s Land series didn’t make the book.Many photographers refer to these pictures as “outtakes.” In movies or TV, an outtake applies to a scene that didn’t make the final cut.While I understand that term for the moving-picture, an outtake sounds like something just discarded.The pictures that didn’t make the final edit of the monograph aren’t thrown away.They continue to live in my studio flat file hoping for the chance to find future walls, or perhaps a place in a future book.I’ll be posting some of these final prints here in the coming weeks. (If anyone has a better term than an outtake within this context, please do share!)

“In this photograph, Daniel Postaer contrasts the physical decay of San Francisco’s Mission district with the cultural vibrancy and energy represented by the graffiti that covers the walls and buildings in the area. The image is part of Postaer’s series Boomtown. The title is not merely ironic: The abandoned building, likely to be demolished as part of the ongoing gentrification of the area, has become a site to display the booming creativity of the neighborhood’s predominately Latine population. Postaer invites us to look at the urban environment as a vehicle for cultural display and to reevaluate our assumptions about what constitutes urban development and progress“

A lil latergram here from our visit to the @deyoungmuseum exhibition “Boom and Bust: Photographing Northern California”, including my piece: 𝙎𝙖𝙣 𝙁𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙤, 𝘼𝙗𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙈𝙞𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙚𝙩, 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟮 from my 𝘽𝙤𝙤𝙢𝙩𝙤𝙬𝙣 series.So sweet that @treadwellpress and Chris met us at the show 🤗.

Honored to be hanging next to my teacher from SFAI, @janet_delaney, on these walls 🙏.

The show will be on view through June 7, 2026 and is wonderfully curated by Sally Katz. The photographs span from the discovery of gold in 1848 to the tech boom of this century.I’m grateful to be included and encourage you to check it out if you’re in the Bay.

A quick look at Mother’s Land by Daniel Lee Postaer

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 identity—the 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 country’s contemporary developments.

In an all-encompassing portrait of urban China, in large-scale compositions embracing a multitude of characters and scenes, Mother’s Land shows us a country in the throes of economic and social transformations. A brutal country, too, that erases without scruple, without memory; which demolishes to rebuild further, bigger, higher. A country in mutation, where contrasts become apparent, where the smooth and shiny surfaces of glass and hypermodernity clash with the coarseness of rubble scattered among ruins. A country in which time moves violently fast, in which each year seems like five, and where the traces of Postaer’s previous life seem to evaporate. Only the construction sites reveal, through the rubble, all the strata of time gone by—sedimentary layers unearthing vestiges of the past.

《Mother‘s Land》故土
Daniel Lee Postaer

Postaer是一位華裔美國人，這組作品獲得 LensCulture 2025 年 New Vision 的人文類首獎。書中展現了2010 年代中國社會變遷的景象。同時，它也是Daniel Lee Postaer 漫長內省之旅的成果，這段旅程引領他尋找自身身份中缺失的一部分——五十多年前，他的祖父母為了逃離共產主義政權，被迫帶走了一個女兒，卻不得不拋棄了另一個女兒。

Postaer在 2004 年到中國工作，並在 2014 -2019 年間多次重返中國，親身見證了中國當代的發展。

《故土》以宏大的構圖，囊括眾多人物和場景，描繪了一幅包羅萬象的中國都市圖景，展現了一個正經歷經濟和社會變革的國家。同時，這也是一個殘酷的國家，它肆意抹殺，不留記憶；它拆毀舊物，只為重建更大、更高、更宏偉的建築。這是一個正在變異的國家，對比鮮明，光滑閃亮的玻璃和超現代建築與散落在廢墟中的粗糙瓦礫形成鮮明對比。這是一個時間飛逝的國家，每一年都彷彿漫長五年，Postaer 過往生活的痕跡似乎正在消散。只有建築工地，透過瓦礫，才揭示出逝去時光的層層疊疊──沉積的地層挖掘出過去的遺跡。
