While the borders of norms are visible to you, their presence becomes natural — woven into the space between regulation and freedom. At times, you even lose the ability to navigate these norms. If one attempts to break through established standards, can an aesthetic still exist in the absence of criteria? I continue to speculate on and observe the many models of modern civilized creation, especially the rhythms of urban planning. Compared with the composition of cities and homes, the dazzling array of daily products extends from storefronts into interior spaces. Their functions satisfy convenient and instantaneous desires, filling life without pause.
Here, construction — whether public or private — strikes the Earth’s surface like a machine pressing against skin, administering a therapy of power. Values promoted by norms become the mainstream. But what exactly do they preserve? Standing on a bridge, filming scenes that are familiar, dispersed, ruined, and under construction, a lone figure on a buzzing overpass becomes an object of attention. Yet when a tripod and video camera are placed beside them, passersby instinctively follow the direction of the lens, looking — even lingering.
Knock on it; take a leap. There are silhouettes and puncta on the bridge as well — small ruptures that reveal how perception shifts under the weight of norms.
站在橋頭，拍攝熟悉的；到處可見的；一個個既破落又建設中的場景。佇立於那行人絡繹的橋頭會被注視；待著並放置腳架及攝錄機，途人會依拍攝方向觀看甚或同樣待一待。
敲一敲；跳一跳；還有高橋上的剪影與刺點。
