Poverty behind the eye, only fables
This ongoing project explores whether photography has the function of a cultural adhesive, and how to pass on personal daily experience in different media environments through photography.
I try to unify different things in the image crowd and find out our basic needs for images by using different image making methods. It seems that the ontology of photography and the desire for photography can help us to cure the general anxiety in our current life. This may be a kind of echo and backtracking between personal memory and visual history, and it may also be our deep emotional demand for photography itself.
