Film Still 

This project is a tribute to all the great films I haven’t seen. I’m very interested in those film stills that I don’t know which films they belong to. The unknown film still can always trigger my imagination, & thus become a perfect film in my mind.

In this project, I setup scenes that I would like to see in a film. I pretend that these photos are from real films with various names. Most of these photos depict individuals in certain environments. They all seem to be lost in thought. What are they thinking about? In fact, they are thinking about whatever I asked them to think about. They could be thinking about whatever you think they are thinking about. These photos are from films that exist only in my mind. Now they become films that exist in your mind. In this way, the imagined film is transferred from my mind to your mind but with a meaning of its own.

* Due to my poor English, I’m not sure you can really understand what I’m saying.

这个项目（PROJECT怎么翻成中文呢？）是我对所有我没有看过的伟大电影的致敬。我对我不知道出处的电影剧照特别感兴趣。不知名的剧照总可以激发我的想象，从而成为我想象中的完美电影。在这个项目中，我搭制了我愿意在电影中看到的场景。我给它们起各式各样的名字，假装它们来自真的电影。很多照片中描述在某些环境中的单个的人。他们都好像陷入了沉思。那么他们在想什么呢？事实上，他们在想我想让他们想的内容。他们也在想你以为他们在想的内容。这些照片过去是出自我的脑海里的电影。现在它们也变成了你们脑海里的电影。通过这种方式，这些电影完成了从我的思想到你的思想的传递。*我以为只是我英文说不清楚，现在看来中文也说的一塌糊涂。还需要慢慢雕琢啊。
