Gao Peng & Mei Qiong

Concept

There is an old Chinese saying goes “No joke without a crazy idea, No story without a coincident”. It means that keeping to the beaten track is boring and dull. Only mistakes and mis-happenings would create entertainment. Movies and plays mis-placed everyday character and events, ending up with stories and significance. What I shot are common people and natural views, combined, mixed and happened together in one scene, forging these “funny” or “meaningful’ pictures. An artist create a piece of his or her reflection of the world, which could be the illusion of your heart as well.
