Another ongoing project of Sheng’s is Revolutions of Memory, which examine in panoramic
compilations of images important sites historically to communities certain
communities in his own life. His work includes a chilling view of the site of a
hate crime in “Where Matthew Lay Dying (Laremie, Wyoming), 2007″; “Hangzhou,
China: Where My Grandfather’s Memory of his Childhood” where Sheng returned to a
site often commemorated by his elder to create the first image of this series;
and “Stonewall, NYC: A Gay Pride March, Hilary Clinton, and the NYPD (Come
Out!), 1970/2005″ which is meant to juxtapose the historical occurrences for the
New York LGBTQ community and the shift from gay-bashing police raids to the more
open climate where one’s sexuality is a symbol of pride and not fear of
oppression. The ongoing series literally immerses the viewer in the scene that
Sheng compiles of from hundreds of photographs to create a vivid, strong, and
meaningful artistic experience.
