THE CRITICAL CONDITION OF MY AWARENESS WILL SOMETIMES TRIGGER THE SHUTTER - Han Lei
"The first condition that sparked my interest in photography was Chinese reality. So far, it's still the most convincing condition of my photographs. I've always been overwhelmingly sensitive to these indecent things. I see my photographs as a kind of concealment, which doesn't require highlighting procedures or truisms. I prefer to hide the "punctum" of most of my photographs. I've tried to conceal the climax of these daily photos, which is the most significant form and internal structure of my photos, the fragment of each image transits into another fragment, these hidden events can be remembered by myself as a representation of time.
Most of the time, I'm more of a conflict person, this kind of conflict sometimes makes me understand these in-between attitudes. The critical conditions of my awareness will sometimes trigger the shutter. I've never developed an idea with which to shoot; that would be an even worse cliché. I prefer to let "series" and "categories" be generated naturally by the enormous quantities of my photographic practices."
