ABOUT THE WORK

Three Photographers series

I fictionalized three photographers' stories. The peculiarities of photographer Q, M, T were existed in my mind during some period of time. I play the roles of these three photographers, and use their eyes and minds to review my own family album and some previous works of mine. Then I re-photograph and crop them, and make three loose groups of images.

These images were taken away from their own previous functional and visual context, and invaded by photographer Q, M, T's experiences and modes of visual aesthetics.
