To revolt against all sorts of daytime dilemmas with dream and temporarily suspend its continuity for daytime dilemmas beings is a means for me to acquire relative freedom and equilibrium and also an attempt for me to repeatedly construct the relation between myself and the society.
I record every time space which will be gradually forgotten in the dream. In such time space, there weave daily memories and unfamiliar story or outrageous stories far away from the society and daily routine. Virtuality and reality interlace with each other. All of the fuzzy fragments flicker, freely transform to non-negligible details one by one and equally coexist there in harmony.
I use a shot with loose focusing motor and mobile phone to search those recorded dreamlike images in spare time, and intercept images from streetscape map on the network. All clear or low-pixel image details are spliced or synthesized by me so as to repeatedly reconstruct and build a memory field that could not be isolated by anyone and fabricate a closed loop where I coexist with them and mutually stare at each other.
