200cm

Ruben Lundgren (1983) is a Dutch photographer and curator based in Beijing, China. He completed a master's degree in photography at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in 2011. As a photojournalist, Lundgren works for the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant and published the book Real Dreams (2021) by his (self)publishing house 200cm. His relocation to China has profoundly influenced his career, leading him to engage deeply with Chinese contemporary photography.

He has made notable contributions as a curator, including The Chinese Photobook (2015) in collaboration with Martin Parr, Ellen Thorbecke’s China (2021) for the Nederlands Fotomuseum and China Imagined (2022) for BredaPhoto together with curator He Yining. His exhibitions are known for their accessibility and appeal to both general audiences and photography experts.
