Before It Was A Thing

"Whenever I go through the album on my phone, these abstract debris generated out of serendipities and the collage of them often situate me inside a swirling tide, in which the amorphous entities that has not been turned into meaning are interwoven into the modern life. Here, the system of signifier/signified collapsed, they are a series of intangible signs since there is no consistency, logic or cause-effect linkage needed for meaning deliverance; no hierarchy in aesthetics; no calling from a distant mission. In this series, I was merely oscillating between these signs, brushing against the made-up rules(rules of framing, rules of lighting, and rules of logic), and hoping to bring objects to a innocent, pre-civilizational, and impalpable zero point where their interior could become tangible." (Ma Siliang, 2022)
