Another Self is a part of my ongoing project about generalized Nijigen subculture in China.
As a kind of subculture, generalized Nijigen culture is becoming more and more popular among teenagers in China. It is related to Anime, Comic and Games. With deepening exploration I began to notice that there was a problem of mutual understanding between the subcultural and mainstream groups. Teenagers find comfort or escape in this virtual world for the difficulties and frustrations they encounter in the real world.
As a result, we tend to see two different individuals of the same person. This state will be different results at different times and places, or by different observers. This project is about a story of self-exploration. The consciousness makes an individual of identity. Subconsciously, we have another self-individual. How do we look at and describe ourselves? The true self is hidden in the unconscious, so which one is the real self? The desires and emotions of the ego ultimately make us connect with them.
《另一个自我》是我正在拍摄中的一个系列。这个系列是我的泛二次元文化拍摄计划的一部分,旨在探索人潜意识中的另一个自己。作为一种亚文化,泛二次元文化在青少年中越来越流行。对于沉浸其中的青少年来说,往往有别于其所谓的三次元的自己。因此我将其作为载体,来讨论人在潜意识里看待与描述自己的方式。我也希望借此探索泛二次元题材摄影在视觉表达之外的当代化表现形式。
