I AM WATCHING,
I AM HIDING

观察着,
隐匿着

A zoom in / zoom out book based on a full-size photograph taken in Venice. 

The work is not necessarily about Venice but a presence within photograph itself.

The book can be read from both sides with two titles - I am watching and I am hiding. When the former ending page becomes the new beginning page, the narrative inside changes as well. Through layers of uncertainty, the audience is invited to redefine the story.




从一张拍摄于威尼斯的照片出发,一本由视角的放大与缩小所操控的书。

相较于威尼斯,作品同照片本身所包含的,及其阅读方式与叙事性更有关。

本书可从首尾两端分别阅读,对应两个不同的标题 - 观察着,隐匿着。尾页亦可作为首页重新开始,在多重不确定性下观众被邀请二次定义故事。
