Like a Spoon of Sugar

Written By Xiangyin Gu

Birds stopped

mid in the air.

Now it’s there,

at present,

intervals bring illusions and visions.

 

It is not there,

we could only guess

its next position,

its next juncture

and its next presence.

 

Like

a spoon of sugar sprinkled into

the boiling water,

hereon any moment of it

can not be dispensed.

 

Everything

in this world combines

into a large monad,

here isolation of the individuals

is merely hypothesis out of convenience.

 

Like

webs of the spiders,

connections of being spray out

intricately yet obediently,

adhering all their prey.

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.
