“The primary factor that sparked my interest in photography is the reality of China. To this day, it remains the most compelling element of my photographs. I have always felt an overwhelming sensitivity toward these indecent things. I see my photographs as a form of concealment, one that does not require highlighting procedures or truisms. I prefer to hide the ‘punctum’ in most of my photos. I have tried to conceal the climax of these everyday photos—which is the most significant form and the internal structure of my photos—where the fragment of each image transitions into another fragment; these hidden events can be memorized by me as a representation of time.
Most of the time, I’m more of a conflicted person; this kind of conflict sometimes helps me understand these intermediate attitudes. I always take photos in a fairly traditional way—it’s the greatest freedom for me; the critical conditions of my awareness sometimes trigger the shutter. I have never developed a concept to work with; that would result in an even worse cliché. I prefer to let “series” and “categories” emerge naturally from the vast volume of my photographic practice.”
