Suspended land
悬置之地As barriers of language and mobility continue to dissolve, exploring place-bound identities becomes increasingly significant. This work was taken during my studies in Japan, where I was a “foreigner”.
The works incorporate symbolic elements such as urban-rural junctions, portraits, and discarded road signs. Shot far from urban centers, these images lack clear regional markers, but the subjects share an unconscious commonality. This subtle similarity speaks to the search for stability amid the fluidity of identity. At the moment the shutter is pressed, different body experiences are unconsciously released, bringing different visual experiences.
In a world where the connection to place is increasingly tenuous, this juxtaposition of Japan’s marginal areas highlights the tension between modern dislocation and a deeper longing for rootedness.
随着语言障碍和人口流动的减弱，探索地域身份认同变得愈发重要。这组作品拍摄于我在日本留学期间，当时作为“外来者”的身份如同透明的茧衣，始终萦绕在观视世界的目光中。
作品中融合了城乡交界处的景观、带有地理刻痕的肖像、指向虚空的道路标识。这些远离城市中心的画面虽无明确地域标识，但拍摄对象却透露出某种隐秘的共性。这种微妙的相似性，展现了人们在流动身份中对稳定感的追寻。当快门按 下的瞬间，不同的生命经验在底片冲洗中自然显影，最终在照片中形成充满张力的叙事。
在人与土地的联结日益脆弱的今天，通过对日本边缘地带的影像并置，揭示了现代性带来的身份认同危机与对土地的归属渴望之间的矛盾。
