Jianan Ouyang
The five senses connect life with the world, and imagination makes the brain sensual. This series of works is a product of imagination. It begins with the destruction of the first structure, then begins to rebuild, destroy again, and rebuild again. I hope that creation is merely a trace of my existence, that the entire act of creation is simply wandering in the realm of imagination. I hope to directly transform my instinctive feelings from the perspective of a living being; I hope my reactions are less restrained and disciplined; I hope I am imagining as a living being; I hope this imagination is like a random child, minimizing my narration. I believe that this kind of instinctive imagination, with its strong randomness, can be more powerful than language. It can make humanity forget language.
