Work appreciation
This group of works breaks the traditional concept of photography, and boldly tries to integrate cameras, scanners and hand-worn-out crafts to create photographic art. The work is based on the classic works of Paul Cézanne, a representative of the French post-impressionist school, on the one hand, by focusing on the restoration of Cézanne's classic still life masterpieces, using plastic films and small flowers artificially dyed blue throughout the entire group of works, and using the artistic presentation of images to draw people's attention to global plastic pollution and food safety issues.
On the other hand, with creative thinking and post-video means, the process of sending this group of works from China to Cézanne's former residence in France, and then back to China from France, left various messages in the picture to express the stories experienced along the way. At the same time, the postmark of the time of the work is sent in the picture, representing important representative time nodes in China and France, such as the Winter Olympics, the Year of the Rabbit in China, Macron's visit to China and other special time points.
Postmark time: November 11, 2021, PHOTO Paris opens. The picture shows the hypothetical address from China and the address of Cézanne's former residence.
Postmark Date: February 22, 2022, the Winter Olympics are held, which coincides with the Chinese New Year.
Postmarked: April 15, 2022, the 3rd anniversary of the fire at Notre Dame Cathedral.

Postmark time: April 7, 2023, France** Macron visited China and signed the Joint Declaration of the People's Republic of China and the French Republic. The purpose of creating this group of works is to establish a connection across time and space, to realize the dialogue between different cultures of the East and the West, to use video art to build a connection between different countries, and to achieve the integration of different art categories.
