What is Pop Starz? Well- many things, but in this context the pop star is significant for me, as a Chinese domestic product that in its essence is a distillation of many social and political factors at work in the fabric of chinese culture at the moment. Although the studies are predominantly works featuring established pop artists, (as catalogued in the myriad glossy publications aimed at championing, showcasing and exhibiting these contemporary icons) there are also studies of regular, normal young people whose appearance, style and awareness is parallel, intertwined with that of their heroes. The 'pop stars' I capture are both the gods and the mortals,each indestinguishable from the other, when crystalised in an image.
