Illuminating the hidden Lu Nan creates documentaries like none other. His work focuses on people who exist outside the mainstream, or who have slipped through its cracks. In his 20 years as a photographer, he has lived a simple, almost monastic life. In 2006, Lu went to the most dangerous area in Myanmar to get involved in the lives of imprisoned drug dealers and addicts, and to document their daily lives. The photos Lu took in Myanmar appear in his latest exhibition, “Prison Camps in Northern Myanmar,” now on display at Inter Art Center in 798 Art District. See Lu’s story on Pages 12-13.
