兼兼 (Jian Jian) is an independent photography magazine dedicated to black and
white photography. Each issue is entrusted to a single photographer, who explores a personal narrative through images
that reflect memory, emotion and the complexity of lived experience.
The title comes from the Chinese character
兼 (Jian), meaning duality — not as multitasking, but as the seamless blending of
vision and thought. This concept lies at
the heart of the magazine: photography
as the meeting point of perception and
imagination
