Three Shadow Xiamen Photography Art CenterThe poem of childhood caves and urbanization process
- [ ] Modern cities are made of new materials, tightly wrapped, and full of logic. The bare land in the old city, the crooked narrow alleys, and similar but inconsistent houses gradually disappeared. It's the same in my hometown. Going back to the hometown I haven't returned for a long time, I find that the place where I grew up has become so unfamiliar. While feeling the progress, I also quietly regret the disappearance of memory space. Between the seemingly no-existing old streets and the new high-rise buildings with red banners with "topping off", I was pleasantly surprised to find that the old house where I grew up was actually the only relic --- a small building that was born and was demolished. Half of a 6-story building. Taking advantage of the gap of construction, I sneaked into the only remaining house. In the house that was cut, the memory seemed to become fragmented while being awakened. The exposed internal structure of the house made the childhood fortress no longer strong. So on the basis of photography, the liquid body drawn out is added, hoping to provide a touch of touch for our vision. We see the image, reshape the image, we preserve the image in memory. We create between what we see in our minds and what we see in our eyes. In the process of creation, we mix real and forged memories, and re-experience the past through photography and painting. This gives oneself the possibility of obtaining new shocks. An expedition process, a game process. In addition to personal experience, it also reflects the current situation of the times. (Childhood is imprisoned in jelly-like dappled bubbles, emitting a halo in the sun. You do not wish to go to the unknown, nor to break the memory hole. At the moment when the building physically disappears, you no longer try to seal and Focus. The artist explored the diversity and uncertainty of the physical experience of demolition. At this moment, you feel that your childhood is reflected in a kaleidoscope of disintegrated fragments, completely rejecting the original context of your growth
