The exhibition selects Cai Dongdong's new works from 2014 to the present. The artist uses some of the instant photos he usually takes, prints them by hand, reads them over and over again, and then processes his own information and meaning to stimulate new meaning space. He uses the attributes of the image symbol itself to carry out such symological association, symbol grafting, intuitive induction, visual disturbance, and media displacement, so that these new works can find a new relaxed movement behaviour on the original image without destroying the subject of image information, and expand it. Meaning space. After the artist's intervention, the picture was awakened from its natural plane advantages and meaning, creating a series of image wonders: "Falling Stone" is an artist's grafting operation on the image. The stone in reality and the seemingly unrealistic water in the image create an irrational grafting relationship, which constitutes a new embarrassing reality. ; In "The Photographer", the reverse viewing makes the image and the audience the same as the main body; in "The Weeping Willow", he flips the scenery of the weeping willow blown by the wind by 90 degrees, making the floating willow branches hang down and deliberately approaching the name of its "weeping willow". In these works, the artist blurs the boundary between image touch experience and cognitive experience, and expands the extension of a photo. When the image becomes a pure object, the picture becomes a tangible place. All his creations are based on a behaviour, that is to say, he is always in the process of happening, such as stability. The image inertia of the oath, he has long had a strong desire to distort and stretch.
