“我希望尽量客观地呈现这个历史阶段的城市化，避免通过摄影流露态度或对其进行价值判断，发挥摄影的记录文献功能，保持照片的真实性。”

《堂前间》

堂前间是张挂招贴、平日接待乡里亲朋、年终团聚的重要场所，作为乡村私人生活的重要组成部分，它是维系家族尊卑长幼秩序以及熟人社会里人情往来的重要纽带。

2015年1月，这个浙江杭州下属的小村庄整体拆迁，村民告别他们原本的生活空间，迁至商品住宅楼。2015年2月，推土机驶进村庄，这些装载着村民生活记忆、承担熟人社会空间机能的堂前间被推倒。这组影像拍摄于迁村期间，镜头帮助我对这种乡村伦理空间进行一种类型的审视，不同家庭遗留的生活痕迹却重塑了我们对往日生活的想象。

据统计，在2005年至2009年年间，中国每年减少7000多个村民委员会。这个曾以农业文明兴盛的国家如今正经历着快速的城市化，平均每天消失20个村庄。 

                                                                                                                   

The Entrance Hall

The entrance hall is an important place for the hanging of pictures, receiving friends and guests, and hosting extended family celebrations at the end of each year. As a significant part of rural family life, the entrance hall is a vital stage for maintaining the hierarchy of seniority in family life, and maintaining contact with outside acquaintances.

In January 2015, at a small village in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, a group of villagers bid farewell to their original living space and moved into residential buildings. In February 2015, bulldozers entered the village and demolished the collection of homes where they had developed their memories up until that point. This set of images was taken during the relocation of the village. The lens allowed me to incorporate a strong family-centred element to my examination of the village. The combination of the traces left by different families allowed us to reshape our imagination of the past life.

Statistics indicatate that between 2005 and 2009, village committees in China were being reduced at a rate of over 7000 each year. China, the once thriving agriculturally-dependent civilization, is today experiencing rapid urbanization resulting in an average of 20 villages disappearing every day.

《流园》

流园所拍摄的是城市化中农民所遗弃的村落，随着时间推移，它们将被自然所消化并重新归还给大地，乡村与城镇在快速城市化的当下此消彼长。

                                                                                                                                        

Lingering Garden 

The Lingering Garden captures the villages abandoned by farmers in the process of urbanization. Over time, they will be digested by nature and again returned to the earth. Villages and towns are altering and replacing each other through rapid urbanization.

《遗物》

这些被遗弃的物品，是一群被拆迁的村民在离开祖屋时所没有带走的东西。

作为私人生活中最隐秘的部分，它们不仅让我们得以拼凑曾经构成村民日常主体的生产生活内容，也让我们窥见村民们的内心世界，乡村惯常的习俗、礼仪以及敬畏神明的信仰。

遗物，是外化的日常生活景观，但更是村民过去生活的一个结痂。人与土地的关系，因为外力的介入戛然而止。

Relics of a village

These abandoned objects are the left-behind remnants of demolition work carried out on several family ancestral homes.

Such objects are often a reflection of the most intimate parts of people’s private lives and not only allow us to piece together aspects of what constituted the daily life of these villagers, but also enable us to glimpse at parts of their inner world, their customary habits and rituals, and their religious beliefs.

“Relics” is an externalised landscape of the daily lives of these people, and may be viewed as a reminder of this lifestyle they once lived. The relationship between these people and the land was halted due to the involvement of external forces.
