《在克拉科夫的十日》以一种介于旅行笔记和手札之间的形式呈现。尽管这本书并没有目录，但是书的整体结构实际包含了三个隐形的章节，它们被构架在看似零散的排版形式之上——1.战争；2.城市；3.联结（从彼处到此处／从我到你）。书中所出现的素材包括我在克拉科夫逗留的10天之内留下的快照、手记以及收集的老照片，以及对于三件既存作品的引用（电影截图以及文字摘录）。这三件作品包括：《空中杀手》（2008年，导演：押井守）、《看不见的城市》（作者：卡尔维诺）以及《我略知她一二》（1967，导演：戈达尔）。对于三件既存作品的引用划分出了这三个隐形章节的框架。来自三个不同年代与背景的既存作品与我在克拉科夫10天之内所搜集的素材交织在一起，它们之间的关系时而紧密交织，时而又相对松散。通过排版与排列的节奏调和，这些素材逐渐在书中编织出一条模糊而开放的叙事。

10 Days in Kraków is presented in the form between a travelogue and a scrapbook. Although the book doesn’t have a content page, within the seemingly fragmented structure, three chapters unfold themselves – War, City, and Connection (from there to here / from I to you). The book consists of snapshots, diaries and found images I created or collected during my 10 days stay in the city, as well as fragments (film stills and text excerpts) from three existing works: The Sky Crawlers (2008, directed by Mamoru Oshii), Invisible Cities (written by Italo Calvino) and 2 or 3 Things I Know about Her (1967, directed by Jean-Luc Godard). The appropriation of three existing works also distinguishes the three-chapter structure of the book. The fragments from three works that created at different times and backgrounds are carefully intertwined with the materials I collected in Kraków during the 10 days. These elements sometimes mingle intensively, while other times, structured relatively loosely. Mediated by the rhythm of editing and sequencing, the fragments gradually weaved out a vague and open narrative.

朝鲜风景

North Korean Landscape

 

《朝鲜风景》，2014，摄影

在2014年的冬天，我随旅行团去了北朝鲜（这是目前前往这个国家旅游唯一的途径）

1.朝鲜总共只有三个电视频道 

2.这是一个没有广告的国家

3.互联网主要是被政府部门使用，其余人员只有特殊批准的情况下才可以使用网络

《朝鲜风景》是针对朝鲜公共图像展开的一次研究。由于上述所列的情况所导致的“图像多样性的匮乏”，城市中的广告版、公共区域的墙纸等通常会出现图像的位置，基本被两种类型的图像占领——领袖图像，以及象征着“完美城市”的风景画或城市景观画。同类型的图像，也被作为电视新闻播报以及歌舞表演的背景。这些无论在现实还是电视中的“完美风景”，就如旅行团缜密规划的日程安排以及我们所居住的只对外宾开放的五星级涉外酒店一样，都指向一个舞台剧一般的完美现实，一个与该国家真实现状保持平行的置景现实。

 

「North Korean Landscape」, 2014, photography

In the winter of 2014, I visited North Korea by joined in a tour group (which was the only possible way to travel in the country).

1.There are only three TV channels in North Korea.

2. There is no advertisement in the country.

3. Internet access is only available when permitted with special authorization and primarily used for government purposes.

North Korean Landscape is a study on the public images of the country. Because of this lack-of-diversity of images caused by the circumstances listed above, the common spaces for images in public surroundings (e.g. billboards; wall papers and decorative paintings in restaurants) are mainly dominated by two types of images – pictures of leaders, and pictures of natural or urban landscape that suggest a bigger picture of ‘an ideal city’. The latter type of images are also the main theme on TV channels, such as being used as the backdrop for almost all the news programs or chorus and musicals. These ‘ideal landscape’ either in reality or TV, just like the strictly planned schedule of our tour group and the five-star hotels that we were staying which is only open to foreign tourists, all lead to a perfect image of a staged reality that is parallel to the actual situation of the country.
