I felt the limitation of literature and photography years ago. When I got in touch of contemporary-arts such as action art and installation art, I fell in love with it completely. I think these types of art style might be my language in the near future. I am glad to have the honor to be the photographer of Guangzhou·live art festival to learn the way approaching new ways of expressing, and what more important is to take good records for the artist’s works during the festival.
