Tiananmen


This work was commissioned by Magnum Photos in collaboration with Time magazine in May/June 1989. It follows the evolution of a grievance movement in China following the death of Hu Yaobang to a widespread uprising, the eventual crackdown and slaughter in and around Tiananmen Square, Beijing in early June, and the plight of the ‘Tank Man’ as he confronted a row of tanks on June 4th, 1989.
