Spark Zine #7: Earth Traveller
Hangsheng
Imageless, Bananafish
2023
“I am a traveler of the earth and constantly recording every aspect of my life by taking photographs, from grand landscapes like urban buildings, the sun, the moon and the mountains to the smallest fragments such as crystal dew and the moment a butterfly lifting its wings. Whichever scene I come across means a mini trip. The name ‘Earth Traveller’ came from a whim in my college days. As almost all of these photos were took by phone, the unique picture quality and its convenience attract me. It allows me to shoot anywhere, anytime. I was able to capture many images that could be too late for a camera to capture. Earth Traveller consists of such images. Hope you will enjoy it on paper media.” - Hangsheng

“Blank Advertising Light Box Illuminates Pedestrians in the Night was taken at the bus station downstairs my apartment. When there are no posters inside, it looks like a large light box that sheds light on passers-by. I stood there taking pictures for many people who come and go with various looks. Under the Street Light was taken by the river near my new home after I moved to suburban area. The new community has no public space yet, so people just walk, sing, play and set off fireworks along the same river. The streetlights are very high and bright, making the pavement look like a stage.” - Yan Jiacheng

Spark Zine #5: Walking Back Along the River Bank

“In my eyes, Suzhou River is a park with flowing water, where people of all kinds rest, smoke, and stay in a daze. They sat on benches or leaned against the stands on the bank, all staring at the flowing river. I don’t want to disturb them, neither start a chat. I recorded everything quietly when passing by. I went back and forth twice a week to the riverbank during that three months, but still couldn’t figure out a name that matched the theme of the photos I took. Later, I came across a collection of poems named They Had to Walk Back Along the River Bank, written by Zhu Wen, a film director. The people he portrayed in the movies and in his writings wandered in this world, living a rough life, waiting for the arrangement of fate. When I put my camera away, I wondered if the neon night on the other side of the river could hear the whispers of these people.” - Meiwen

Spark Zine #4: Undercurrent
Yan Jialin
Imageless, Bananafish
2023
“When three members of my family passed away, I missed the opportunity to see them one last time. The intense regret and remorse that had endured over the years became too much for me to let it go. The instinctive response to pain is to run away from it, but perhaps facing the wound will be the only cure. It wasn’t until I started talking to friends about the loss of those three that I realized that most people, like me, avoid dealing with the pain of losing the people they loved as a way to forget its existence. Maurice Maeterlinck expressed a view about death in his The Blue Bird: There are people who have died, but as long as someone still misses them, they will live on as happily as ever. I began to visit the places where they spent the last days of their lives more frequently, talking about them more often, looking for traces of their lives, and eventually those traces and feelings that were recovered became a bond between the three of them and me. These bonds will eventually become the undercurrents of their existence in my world, flowing continuously.” - Yan Jialin

“If photos are full of randomness, it means instinctive intuition takes over motivation. Perhaps what is more concerned with is whether the series between photos needs a theme rather than the thinking at the very moment of taking a photo? However, no matter how much I think about this question, there is no right answer to it. Daily life may not need deliberate interpretations. The action of shooting photographs may not need too many explanations. What I did was just recording some of my daily fragments and sublimating them a little bit. As a creator also as an observator. I hope you could alongside me as a viewer, while these photos stand the opposite.” - Gu Liyu

"My father was violent on multiple fronts: physically, emotionally, in his abandonment. As a child, I only knew his version of Martinique: I returned there every 3-4 years through subsidized trips allotted to civil servants from overseas departments. On site, I was stuck in a house where my mother wasn't allowed to leave without my father. Twenty years passed—twenty years deprived of seeing this island, despite it also being mine—twenty years of trying to get snippets of it… Until I came to terms with it and did some research on my own. [...] My Martinican life is queer: politically and culturally. These images are a window onto those who welcomed me, who cheer and dance alongside me." - Adeline Rapon
