作為一個男孩，我很喜歡我在太湖（中國東南方）旁小鎮時經歷的童年；作為一個成年人，即使離家背井，我仍透過大眾媒體——包括新聞報紙、電視與網路等，不斷地目擊中國極速都市化下無止盡的開發。自近幾年來，當我返家探望父母時，我以攝影持續記錄著故鄉的模樣。我綜合這些攝影作品、新聞簡報、文件與當地資料照以此比對出故鄉的變遷，同時探究政治力、資本與媒體在其中扮演的角色。（藝術家自述）

 

Very Good, Very Good
2012-ongoing

As a boy, I enjoyed my childhood in a small town near Lake Tai in southeast of China. As a man, I left hometown but still witness its endless growth during the rapid urbanization in China through mass media including newspaper, television, and Internet. In recent years, I constantly photograph the landscape of my hometown while visiting my parents. Meanwhile, I combine photographs, newspapers, documents, and vernacular photos to investigate the transition of my hometown and the power of governmentality, capital, and medium that contribute to this transition.
