Too Much But Not Enough — Yang Li & Antoine d’Agata, 1st edition, Steidl 2023

Fashion pushed to the edge of confession. Conceived by Yang Li with Antoine d’Agata, this project abandons models for 23 street-cast women encountered across China. Raw portraits are paired with transcripts of their voices, tracing beauty, desire, disillusion and social pressure. The 23 softcover booklets are housed in individual sleeves and sealed within a distressed slipcase — a deliberate gesture of fragility and resistance. Limited to 300 copies.
