About the Book
I was born and raised in a small town in Henan Province, China. I left the town to study and live in the city at the age of fifteen, and until
now I found it very difficult to integrate in the city. I always think that there is a distance from the city. When I face the city, I feel most timid and
unfamiliar. However, the era is destined to bring young people like me to the city. These photos were taken from 2011 to 2017 on an
occasional journey away from the city. I started to become obsessed with the glimpse of the occasional surpassing reality of these realities
These hidden in the strange corner of the landscape became my prey. I believe I psychologically have some kind of energy projected onto the
scenery in these corners, that is why I can see and be attracted. The sense of distance between this eye and the interception of the picture,
just as it between the bizarre real world and me.
關於本書
我生於斯長於斯,在中國河南一個小城鎮度過童年。十五歲那年離鄉到城裡求學生活,直至今日,始終覺得自己難以融入城市。面對城市時,總感到最為怯懦與陌生。然而,時代注定要將像我這樣的年輕人帶往城市。這些照片攝於二〇一一至二〇一七年間偶然遠離城市的旅程。我開始迷戀那些偶然超越現實的現實風景,藏匿在陌生角落裡的景致成了我的獵物。我相信心理上有某種能量投射到這些角落的風景上,所以才能看見並被吸引。這種目光與畫面截取之間的距離,正如荒誕現實世界與我之間的距離。
