Offered for sale is a copy of Aeronautics in the Backyard by Xiaoxiao Xu, a highly regarded and increasingly sought-after contemporary photobook. This project explores imagination, aspiration, and the tension between individual dreams and social reality in modern China, focusing on home-built aircraft and the people who create them.

Through a subtle, poetic documentary approach, Xu combines portraiture and landscape to tell deeply human stories, resulting in a book that has become a standout title in recent photobook history. Aeronautics in the Backyard is widely collected and is now out of print, making it particularly desirable for collectors of contemporary photography and independent publishing.

Very good condition.
