New Romantics, is a reflection of a life of fantasies and yearnings learned from cinema. The type of cinema we use to define ourselves, and the kind we breakthrough and strive for as we get to know ourselves and our relationship to this world. In these works are all the learned ideas of love, loss, and human connection.

An Rong Xu is a New York City and Taipei-based photographer and director. Born in China and raised in New York City’s Chinatown, Xu explores the world around him through his unique cultural perspective.

Xu’s work is rooted in the beauty of the ordinary, capturing a rich cinematic stillness in his photography and a passionate ethereal journey in his films. Bringing with him a vision for creating emotional narratives, Xu shares a deeper look into the lives of his subjects with a sense of trust and candor, shown through personal moments and words unspoken.
