BETWEEN HERE AND HOME For the year of the horse, A.P.C. gives Carte Blanche #7 to photographer Ma Hailun. Born and raised in Ürümqi, Xinjiang, now based in Shanghai, Hailun returned to her home region to shoot in Ili, located in the northwestern part of Xinjiang. This series of stills “Between Here and Home” centers on what the New Year means at its core: going home. Hailun found herself navigating a familiar yet changed landscape, returning as both an observer and visitor. Through her lens and working with locals, she discovered new layers within places and people she thought she knew. Ma Hailun captured them alongside timeless pieces and red accent accessories, a color both signifying and classically grounded. In the quiet stillness in Ili before the new year, she asks: "How to appreciate emptiness, and how to recognize a quiet, grounded strength within the stillness”. A reflection on what it means to return, and what we carry forward. Discover the edit now in-store and online. #APCParis
