ANIMATIONS AND PHOTOGRAPHYS

Unit 1

​

I tried a lot on this topic of social communication, and finally，I finished my work mainly through photography. This is the first time that I try to express my ideas in the way of freeze-frame animation.

At first, when I drew some human images, I felt very image, very similar to my usual state. When I took the shape of the person I drew, I found its interesting place. Later, many students who saw this pattern would also express resonance, because this is actually the daily state of many people. So I want to put it into reality. I have conceptualized them in an abstract way, with a little bit of humor. It's a kind of decadent and lazy state when I'm alone. It's also a kind of struggling state. For example, the speed of getting into bed is in contrast to the difficulty of getting up. The reason for using canvas is that this kind of softness can better show this kind of lazy state, and it can constantly change the dynamic state, and it also has a certain hardness, which can just support the pose. I can put it in any scene, almost every state can be integrated into the scene, which makes the picture vivid and makes people feel this lonely and desolate atmosphere.

​

I put the abstract pattern into the concrete reality scene and explored the relationship between the real existence and non-existence.  It seems absurd, but actually reasonable.  “What is reasonable is real; that which is real is reasonable.”  In Hegel’s view, much of reality is unreal, and only the existence that conforms to the concept is true.  I think that although emotions are difficult to express in concrete objective reality, they are real.  Loneliness is a feeling and experience of subjective self-consciousness and isolation from others or society, not an objective state.
