1, WORDS EXPLNATION

FAKE-lies of human beings; all full-automatic appliances.

LOVE-light.

SADNESS-a poem written on a paper nearly transparent.

PHOTOGRAPHY-the art of disappearance.

SNAPSHOTS-it’s a process collecting little things in life, like collecting adventurously variety of insects in woods.

BEAUTY-kindhearted and simple persons; animals; nature; cosmos.

2, Q&A

When did you get interested in drawing? How did you start?
I like drawing when I was young, but later turned to photography after realizing that many things could not be expressed by drawing limited by techniques. Gradually captivated by the nature of photography, I think what makes this medium unique is that each photo, however it is, is related closely to death, because the moment the shutter is pressed elapses instantly. Although I love photographing very much, I don’t want to limit to this medium, which, I think, is just one of various ways of expression.

Speaking of “master”, who will you instantly think of? please give your comments on him/her in one sentence?
Andrei Tarkovsky, a sculptor of time and extreme of movie aesthetics; Hiroshi Sugimoto, teaching me a new way to see the world and think issues; Rene Magritte, a magician who creates miracles.

What’s your plan in the new year?
First, learn more knowledges and try more artistic ways of expression such as sculpting and printing; second, save enough money to travel to North Europe, like Iceland; third, become a vegetarian.

一、词语解释

假:人类的谎言,还有所有的全自动生活用具
爱:光
生活:一场冒险
忧伤:诗,被写在几乎透明的纸上
摄影:不知道怎么用中文说好,关于“消失事物”的艺术?
快照:快照对我来说是个收集生活点滴的过程,就像是去森林冒险收藏不同种类的昆虫一样。
美丽:善良质朴的人、动物、自然、宇宙

二、问答

你是什么开始对摄影产生兴趣的?是如何开始的?
小时候很喜欢画画,但后来由于技术上的不足,很多东西不知如何表达,于是开始拍照,逐渐被摄影这种媒介的本质所迷住,在我看来摄影的独特之处在于,每一张照片,不管是怎样的一张照片,都与死亡紧密相连,因为在快门按下的瞬间,这一刻便死去。
虽然很热爱摄影,但我认为它只是众多的表达方式之一,我并不想只局限于这一种媒介。

提到“大师”,你马上想到的人是谁?请以一句话评价他/她。
安德烈·塔可夫斯基——时光的雕刻者,电影美学的极致
杉本博司——他教会我全新的观看之道 和思考问题的方式
Rene Magritte——魔法师,创造奇迹的人

新的一年有什么计划?
多学知识,尝试更多的艺术表达方式 如雕塑、印刷等等;攒钱旅游 想去北欧,尤其是冰岛;吃素。
