Asolo Art Film Festival






The set up of "Themeless Parks" (It isnae Disney) series in Asolo Art Film Festival, Italy. Lit up the photos from below is a nice touch, without modifying the historical venues for hanging the lighting gears. There are tons of words on the white wall, including some chinese characters. I'll dig into them later once I've got some close up shots! I need to thank again the curators for the show.

"Art Shift" in Asolo Art Film Festival, Italy (20-28 Aug)


I'm pretty excited that part of my "It isnae Disney" (Themeless Parks) series will be featured in the "Art Shift" session of "Asolo Art Film Festival" in Asolo, Italy. The photography works will be staged together with other artists' installation and video projections in the ancient setting of the town. A thing deserved to be mentioned is that there will be empty spaces in the exhibition to provide an opportunity for other artists and visitors to write and draw on it, as a way of "conversation" with my works. Very special.


Thank you for the invitation from curator Ms. Chen Mei Yuan and Mr. Steve Bisson.

Just want to say I'm very happy to participate in the publication of "Happy Tonite" with a group of outstanding Chinese photographers. And I would like to say the production of the book is quite unorthodox. Splendid!

Photo China(中国摄影家)08/2010








Tingting Xu who is an outstanding photography coloumnist and also the author of "Niche: In or Out", a collection of interviews with contemporary American photographers, has carried out an interesting interview with me for the August issue of Chinese photography magazine "Photo China" (中国摄影家). It was done by a real-time dialog in Google Document, a reall fresh try for me.
