Sun-On-Wheels
太阳的马车


 Sun-On-Wheels is a series of on-going artist books comprising photographs taken since 2021 across cities in China and Myanmar, along with Chicago and London, places I once lived and now reside.

“Living in between overlapping and layered spaces”,¹  of familiar/unfamiliar, safe/unsafe, ordered/mess, is to live in the borderlands. The constant feeling of anxiety and awareness of surroundings is like an ongoing psychedelic trip.

Each book contains 108 pages, referencing the concept of  the “108 defilements” (Chinese 百八烦恼). In Buddhism, the term “defilements” (Pali kilesa) is not a judgment, but a way to describe various mental states that shape the perception of reality. 

Therefore, the practice here is not taking snapshots, but an act of archiving, of how images are categorized, ordered, and re-contextualized, as a way to reassemble fractured dailiness.
