“In my productions, I use photographs as a practice to recreate and transfer real-world images into my work. I choose the crowd from hundreds of photos that I randomly arrange and place them in an abstract urban space. People seen from an imaginary perspective just walk in a natural rhythm without doing anything. I believe with this compact installation style, I have produced a kind of life map that shows the way of seeing the metropolis I live in and the way it exists in the world.”
