Short Description of Work

This book is a 36-month column dialogue between the author and 36 young artists in "People's Photography". In view of their trendy concepts and personalities like "ghosts, ghosts and snakes", I chose to use 36 Tiangang as a catalogue, and reorganized the words "Wanderer" on the cover, and assigned them to each artist's page accordingly. The shape of the font as if they have their own trajectory, is the vitality of today's society.

The book structure is divided into three sections: artist introduction, dialogue and works. The introduction page uses the characteristics of paper to present each artist's head portrait in the form of reverse printing, highlighting the artist's creative state of "ambiguity" and "privacy. The dialogue section uses a relatively balanced layout to express each other's equality in a certain dimension. Works part of the use of restraint and emotional arrangement, in order to achieve the unity of the whole. Although the whole book is thick, it is very gentle. The rough cut contrasts with the neat and orderly cut, expressing the logical and perceptual relationship of artistic creation.

Tell us about your creative practice, and how your work engages with Chinese design, society, environment or culture.

When I read the manuscript, I suddenly added 36 days of Chinese cultural elements. Of course, I am not matching the general theory represented by the day of heaven to each artist, and purely replacing the boring Arabic numeral serial number with it. I think design should be fun on the basis of solving problems. Too serious and regular vision will make people have too far distance.
