Water - Splash from the depths of the genes

"The content of memory depends on the speed at which you forget." Norman Speer

 

Hometown, for a child growing up in the city, is a near-and-far relationship, as if forgotten, yet as hard to part with as the blood in one's body.

 

I used a unique slow shuttering technique to express the fading of time and the blurring of memories. Like Tarkovsky's films, they do not follow a narrative logic but rather a poetic flow. Photography is like a sense of fracture in the flow of time, preserving and occupying the moment. In the middle of that water, there is a house and a memory that cannot be erased.

Throwing Stones is a return to childhood, allowing the audience to be transported to the past in this way.

The three-dimensional mount connected images of the homeland with the process of throwing stones as a child, images that were "simultaneously real and surreal, both here and not here".

It was a journey into the memory of home, a sense of belonging, and a re-exploration of urban nostalgia in the digital age.
