张剑 ZHANG Jian – 迷色图 My Dear Darkness
Feb 06, 2016 - Jiehao Su
"Photography is my freedom kingdom . Through Photography,the hidden emotions in my heart are released and get free. It accomplishes my imagination to the world. So I could freely perceive the world in front of me with following my instinct, to touch, to shoot, to get connections much more simply directly and poetically. Then I would be able to see the views which are deeper than the reality. At the moment of opening and closing shutter, all the memories of my life come out through the view before my eyes, then my vitality is awakened. What I face now is a complete free and egoless world, in here, my world is restored. Therefore, I am willing to indulge in this scene out of reality, no turning back."
