feel like a scientist since the past few weeks - 
back to the basics of photography - chemicals, light, printing.
been testing different effects of cyanotype with various UV levels, washing methods, and on different types of paper.
experimenting and refining the whole ritual for a new work.

Sometimes we just need to follow that one thread and see where that lands.

Not everything needs to be goal-oriented. We can enjoy simply by enjoying.

Hong Kong Photobook Club (@phoboko), which was initiated in 2020, is a monthly gathering of using photobooks as a medium to bring people together to converse about the topics they contain. To date, there have been a total of 35 iterations.

Kaufu is a long-form artistic project that I began in 2019. It is about how I process and respond to my bus driver uncle’s death and his bus-related inheritance driven by the Chinese Confucius concept of filial piety, and using a variety of collaborative/relational methods to create the artworks.

I’m writing something, about my idea of relational art and aesthetics. I’m getting closer to it, to communicate it via words, drawings, case studies, personal artistic practices etc - that is, the invisible relations and dynamics between our selves, others, and the environment.

My friend HM took some portraits of me. There was one that I don’t recognise myself from. I realised I could also be soft and tender.

do you have days when your body tells you that this is just the right amount of light you can handle?

Some notes from a self-conducting research on what I have been calling, “performance photography”.

If the world is the stage, and photographers are the performers, how are we moving between the scenes?

deleted and re-wrote again.
trying to find a form to talk about this that feels right.
in the end, fragments are what felt closest right now.
I wish there’s a way we can think and have these conversations together,
because it affects artists, photobook makers and the photobook culture/scene.

Time. If we don’t count time by numbers. What is time?

Happy Lunar New Year.

With so much turbulence and upheaval in the world and also internally, I felt I needed to remind myself with these words I wrote in 2017.
