WH(hereafter WH): We mentioned last time in our discussion that starting from your works Mirage and Celebration, etc., you had basically parted from the sculptural figure that appears in your previous photographs.Today, let¨s begin our conversation from there and focus on your two most recent projects: The Last Judgment in Cyberspace and H2O- A Study of Art History.Perhaps we can center more on the latter work, because we¨ve already done an exhibition together on The Last Judgment in Cyberspace, and I¨ve written an essay about it.This time, let¨s concentrate primarily on H2O.
MXC (hereafter MXC): All right.These two works really represent a turning point in my art.Before I started these two projects, when I was working with conventional photography, I was shooting three-dimensional scenes in reality.And I was thinking about how to find the most appropriate angle from which to photograph a real situation and transform it into a flat, two-dimensional thing.One day, while looking at two-dimensional paintings in art history, a thought suddenly occurred to me: What would it be like if we changed it anew into a three-dimensional scene?I thought that if I could restore it, it would lead to very interesting results.So, I selected Michelangelo¨s The LastJudgment.I first transformed it into a three-dimensional scene in the computer and then attempted to ^view ̄ it from different angles while also ^photographing ̄ these views.The process is the complete opposite from conventional photography.
Additionally, three-dimensional scenes in reality are constantly changing and moving , but photography can only show a static moment . As
