“当我带着相机悄悄融入（同时也突破）这个空间时，觉察到些许陌生的感受：我仅仅是此刻的观察者吗？与这里沉思、内观的体验有多大距离？我属于这段时间/这个空间吗？这里是否可以容纳我/我可以做多出格的事？于是，在镜头背后，我开始尝试带着柔和的身体与目光缓缓加入，保持对自己身体状态（skinesphere & kinesphere)的觉察，镜头也逐渐成为个人/群体肢体的一部分。我带着相机在空间中流动，爬行，不时在地上翻滚，或是试图爬到更高的空间——似乎并不为了‘拍摄’。透过它感受空间中的专注，捕捉那些偶然碰撞的身体和能量，以及玩心与幽默。它成为我（们）拓展的意识，也是被邀请到群体中的又一只不带评判的眼睛。” （Jun 2021）
"When I discreetly immerse myself (and simultaneously break through) into this space with my camera, I sense something quite unfamiliar: am I merely an observer in this moment? How far removed am I from the experiences of contemplation and introspection happening here? Do I belong to this time/this space? Is this place welcoming of me/can I push against the boundaries? Thus, behind the lens, I begin to experiment with gently integrating my body and gaze, remaining aware of my own bodily state (skinesphere & kinesphere), gradually integrating the camera as an extension of personal/collective physique.
Carrying the camera through the space, flowing, crawling, occasionally rolling on the ground, or attempting to reach higher spaces—not seemingly for the purpose of 'capturing'...I feel the focused presence in the space, capturing some serendipitous encounters between bodies and energies, as well as playfulness and humor. It(the lens) becomes an extension of our expanded consciousness. It is yet another nonjudgmental eye invited into the collective."
