Introduction of "Blind"

With the software photoshop, I illustrated 10 models I shot into strange portraits covered with gorgeous insects in their eyes. They looked like dark infants or virtual human in computer games.

The inspiration for this series works came from the illusion of the laser surgery on my eyes in February of this year.  I was found having something wrong in my eyes. I still remeber in the dark how panic I was scaring of losing my sight which means that I could never take pictures . Several days later my eyes recovered compeletely, but I could not stop recalling the illusions: I saw the beautiful butterflies,bees and colorful hallucinations in my eyes clearly and conld not help wondering:
does blindness and hallucinations some kind of truth?

The purpose I took these pictures is to make people feel the visual pressure and discomfort in order to examine their own heart, life, perspective and how they value themselves.

Buddhism told us: All marks are false and unsubstantial. This works also reflects the the relationship between fragile body and the cruel reality outside the world ,which is between the unity of opposites. Also it questiones a doubt that if the eyes can see the truth.

blind作品介绍

      借助photoshop等软件，我把拍下来的10个模特变成眼睛里布满斑斓昆虫的怪异人像，看上去他们像瞳孔漆黑的婴儿或虚拟人类。这组作品的灵感来源于我在2009年初视网膜部分脱落后激光手术中的幻觉。不久我的眼睛完全恢复，但仍然记得在漆黑中对也许会失去视力的恐慌，那将意味着自己永远不能拍照。而在漆黑中我却分明看到美丽的蝴蝶/蜜蜂/美丽的幻觉，盲和幻觉反而变成了一种真实。拍摄这些照片，让看到的人产生视觉上的压迫感和不适感，
从而审视自己的内心，生活，视角和珍视自己的程度。
      佛教中说 凡所有相，皆是虚妄。这组作品也反应了脆弱的肉身与外界残酷的现实对立统一的关系，以及对每日肉眼所见真相的怀疑。

a photographic project , reactivated
January 2009

  



     "Here is a color based project related to hasard & photography. A special attention hold during my travels surrounded many occasions to catch 'fake twins' situations.The tourism conditions we all have to deal with, deliberately or not, during our journeys, carry a very specific garment equipment away in order to face the long days of unknown landscape's exploration. Not only talking about the almost mandatory sneackers, or rucksacks (but why not), people often happen in a situation wearing exactly the same outfits, or at least one very similar item in it. Couples buying a special jacket for the occasion, friends hasardly wearing the same stuff that day, whatever...

    In order to focus, and reveal those inherent situations, i started to take photographs of the 'fake twins' i met during my trips; people's back as a more accurate point of view, centered in the frame; and i related them with the specific color worn, to explore the whole RGB spectrum at our disposal.

    Pushing now the project a step further, i put it online today and open the subscriptions to make it grown.

    Then at a more longer term, a publication will be produced as a photography book of the whole stuff."
