At the beginning of the story, there was no person named Ju Ju, but instead a little girl named Sui Yuan. In a small house by the Yellow Sea, Suiyuan spent his happy childhood. Her parents were naturally gentle and kind, and with their encouragement, Sui Yuan demonstrated an amazing talent for painting from a very young age.
When Sui Yuan was five years old, her parents inquired from various sources and found an art teacher for her. The teacher's name is Kee, his hair is gray, his body is thin, but his eyes are particularly sharp. He was a famous realistic painter, sculptor, and educator at that time.Kee is very strict with his students and usually does not speak or laugh, but Suiyuan is still excited to learn how to draw with such a skilled teacher. In the first class, Kee took out a potato and asked the students to copy it. The second class remained the same, while the copying of potatoes continued in the third and fourth classes. To the surprise of Sui Yuan, in the fifth and sixth classes, even in the tenth class a month later, Kee still only allowed them to copy this potato.Why keep drawing this potato? It's always like this, " Suiyuan couldn't help but ask Kee after class.At a glance, Kee knew what Sui Yuan was thinking, Say to her, 'You find it boring because you haven't observed it carefully. This potato is already different from before. The object that emits the observation behavior exists in the same space as the observed subject (this potato), and the object constructs the subject (this potato) mimicry and forms an objective existence, which is itself a great wandering of consciousness deconstruction and reconstruction. Do you know Deleuze? Inheriting his' transcendental empiricism' concept, Nomadic thinking is based on all the codes of the past, present, and future, allowing the object to break free from cybernetic mechanical cognition and enter pre modern expressionism and abstractionism from the concrete realism of the Renaissance, gaining freedom of imagery and personal freedom different from the subject (this potato). This is artKee's teachings were deeply imprinted in Sui Yuan's heart. From then on, she no longer studied painting and renamed herself Ju Ju. She also used a hoe to rot all the potatoes in her home, in order to dispel the subjectivity of art.——Excerpt from "Stories of 100 Artists You Must Know"
