contents REN HANG’S PHOTOGRAPHIC WONDERLAND: AN ANALYSIS OF HIS GENDERLESS VISUAL LANGUAGE Maite Luengo Aguirre Arte body nude gender Ren Hang photography The work of the Chinese photographer and poet Ren Hang (1987-2017) was received internationally by emphasising the sexual content and revolutionary character of the use of naked bodies. Nonetheless, the recent years after his death have led to a diversification of investigations in reference to his polysemic photography. This article aims to contribute to the pluralization of the readings around his work, having developed an investigation on the visual genderless treatment of the people posing for him. For this purpose, firstly, the article departs from the revision of the European reception of his work, followed by the study of the significance of nakedness and gender. Then, the identification and investigation of the specific elements within the work of the artist that contribute to a possible genderless reading is undertaken. 2021 artículo científico 1579-7414 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=65375281012 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/653/65375281012/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/653/65375281012/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/653/65375281012/65375281012.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/653/65375281012/movil 10.15304/quintana.20.7471 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=653 Quintana.
