One of the actual shows at C/O Berlin is an homage to Ren Hang, Chinese photographer and poet died in 2007 at the age of twenty-nine. ‘Love’ is the title. Ren’s photos include nude groups and solo portraits of women and men often creating sculptures of intersected bodies.

They didn’t think there was an appetite for their work. I am now coming to the end of my third group of the photography course and we will be welcoming a few new members to the collective from that intake".
