There are two core meanings to the photographs of "The Invisible World" series.
First of all, the photos capture Shenzhen at night.
But I employed exposures of as little as a tenth of a second or as long as an hour. This gives the effect of time passing as fossilised light and shadows on the negative. Our eyes can only see a moment in time, not the passage of time. Here, time and space are blended together to create a narrative flat image.
Secondly, in contemporary China, rapid urbanisa-tion has destroyed and transformed cityscapes at extraordinary speed. It took 30 years to build a city. Shenzhen's transformation is undoubtedly the most dramatic in China. In the process of constant dismantling and reconstructing, the collective memory begins to fail. Our understanding of the world is just a small fraction, a momentary point in the present trapped between the invisible past and invisible future.
