Dissecting the Abstract of the Soul with Photos

Cracked ancestral images， statues of worship placed casually， a young lady with an obscured face， discarded balloons in withered grass， and a silver-haired man with a blank face in an old-fashioned building. Every detail alludes to the disorder and emptiness of modern society. Ouyang Zhizhong’s presentation targets chaotic phenomena in modern society. Calm and keen， he dissects the soul and objects with proper control of his translation. His work is logical and accomplished. During the appraisal， the judges were struck with aesthetic fatigue by the photos of a broken stream of consciousness. What makes his work outstanding is the concrete world beyond psychological reactions around us， which doesn’t break into pieces in pictures.
