Transit series probably is the most complex among the three
strands.
Inspired by Shirley, I somehow find a new direction. With an extreme of distorted blurry,
some images created a pictorial presentation. They are beautiful, with less figurative data on it, which
makes the series sophisticated. It
is between the recognisable and the abstract. I quite like them.
However, at the same time, I should remind myself the formal beauty is
dangerous, I have to always put the concept – the content in the supreme
position.
The original idea is to make some blurry social documentary
with a subjective perspective. The blur was not to make it to an extreme level;
the things in the image are kind of obvious though with some ambiguous
silhouette.
I shot more than a hundred, however, there are not enough
images for me to choose to make a book – thinking a book should consists at
least 15 to 20 images. So I
printed dozens after expand my selection.
Printing was the same disappointing – I would never resize to such
smaller size for print again.
Especially due to the intrinsic blur, the image quality is very
shabby. Anyway…
There are only limited motif I found out, after laying
everything on the floor. Road,
building in construction are the two major ones. Nature, urban ones are of very limited. How should I make a good edit with a
range of motif is challenging.
On the wall, I would like to make a random presentation with
different sizes, however all the shooting was done in landscape, making this
random way a little boring, which makes me a little doubtful now.
