IN THE ROOM IV

As Lucy Soutter mentioned in her book <why Art photography> : The viewpoint of the image places us right on the street and makes us aware of the photographer’s physical presence. (p.46, why Art photography)This is one of the reasons for me to choose street shoot.

Zhou's work explores the invisible barrier among people of different social classes. Such intangible isolation is considered as the psychological distance between people. In Zhou's work, be it human portraits or city landscapes, there is always a deep undercurrent of feeling, which makes most pictures neither vivid nor visually impacting at the first glance. However, standing in front of the works, the work tries to prove that in reality, such isolation is also a sense of security with self-defence.
