笔日札记

博尔赫斯说,他一辈子大部分的时间都花在重读。要写服务于重读的书,拍和陈列能够反复看的书,做能够细细品味不会腻的足够复杂的人。万物都是空洞的,而唯独人所处的时间是真实的。过去是空的,未来来亦是假的。你我的当下这个时空虚实,要学会尊重它。

You know,there is no way to use a determined future to help belt one's future. Neither there is a specific moment in one's life that one could call themselves ready.
Thus, the question lies not in whether or not what you are pursuing is important, but where exactly are you losing or your sense of security or where you shall get it? I deem it completely unrelated to the infinity of hustling culture.


To say that an artist would die at the age of 30 implies the disappearance of a certain tension. Artists are like wild animals seeking to fulfill their libidals through the constant battle against and alongside nature to find their preys.

Such tension, however, specificly falls only into the category of immaturity and pubity, which sometimes could be prolonged. Alas any elongated tension that requires unresolved psychological issues will eventually fade away with the tides and ebbs of time.

I work primarily in photography as well as video and performance. Concentrating on modern-day human condition and self-expression, my work tackles the concept of self and others in the context of modern life. Regarding daily practices as signs and symbols that resonate with public psychology situation, I shoot various footages and combine assorted archival materials to find the patterns behind universal problems related to family and self-consciousness across generations. Always critical of public opinions and diverse categorization of contemporary images, I use my work to help people understand varied human conditions and approach philosophical issues while prioritizing my goals over different genres.
