About Jian Jian 04 Magazine
Jian Jian is built around the idea of a Chinese character representing duality, not as division or multitasking, but as a seamless blending of vision and thought. Each issue explores photography as both image and reflection, where concept and craft exist in quiet harmony. Issue 04, Ex Voto, is a deeply evocative exploration of family, place and collective memory. Centred on rural southern Italy, this edition examines the tradition of ex voto - wax votive offerings shaped as eyes, limbs and organs, carried in baskets and entrusted to saints. These fragile forms become symbols of suffering and healing, dismantling the body so it might be remade through faith and devotion. Both sacred and anthropological, the ex voto stands as testimony to illness and grace, anguish and survival. They speak not only of religious belief, but of resilience within communities shaped by absence, particularly the absence of accessible healthcare, transforming pain into symbol and memory into ritual. Curated by Oreste Montebello, whose practice blends lived experience, literature and imagination, Jian Jian 04 presents photography as an open, continuous narrative. Montebello’s black-and-white film work dissolves boundaries between documentary and poetry, offering images that linger long after the page is turned. Thoughtful, atmospheric and beautifully produced, Jian Jian 04 - Ex Voto is a compelling addition for collectors of independent photography publications and those drawn to visual storytelling rooted in culture, memory and devotion.
