Chinese contemporary photography magazine Closing Ceremony returns with the latest issue all about that most common of photographers' commands: ‘Smile!’

The works from collaborators, artists, and photographers featured inside explore the implications of this ‘transient moment of staged happiness.’ Despite its positive communication, smiling comes with a lot of baggage these days like increasing surveillance, artificial emotions from advertising, and uncanny grins of fashion photography.

Featured artists include: Chris Maggio, PZ Opassuksatit, Roe Ethridge, David Brandon Greeting, Max Siedentopf, Lucas Blalock, Peter De Potter, Feng Li, Fish Zhang, Guillaume Blondiau, Karolina Wjtas, and more.
