Since the birth of photography and video technology, human beings have tried to manipulate some things that shouldn’t have been controlled: time and space. Through the further use of photography technology, we are trying to control human memory of history, nature, and society. In the days of increasingly advanced photography technology, humans are becoming more and more proficient with the use of machines. As if this intervention in the image had reached a level of perfection: composition, framing, and post-processing, and it is becoming easier for humans to get the results they want.

Within the intervention of technologies, sometime the machine itself would betray the human and get unpredictable results. I think that these images or videos of being out of human control are fascinating, it seems to be more objective and neutral. We can find some new visions and standpoints from the images and videos that are out of composition and out of the plan, which can be meaningless, can be consistent with the viewpoint of the manipulator, or can be rebellious. My project is to explore what kind of visual perception and objective attitude can be brought to us by the pictures and videos produced in this non-subjective and artificial situation.

The work in this book is a selection of my photographs from the last three years. In the process of creating them, I have always gotten some unexpected results, and fortunately, I have not deleted this kind of poorly finished product, which I have considered to be exceptional results out of my control. I put them on the inside page of this photo booklet - you can’t see them directly and easily, I wanted them to be presented implicitly, paradoxically, and this book was born.
