This book selects Wang Yishu’s latest works from 2016-2017. Different from his early works, Wang’s source of inspiration shifts from human beings to objects, from complexity to delight. More of his new works accumulate and reinforce these transitions into an intense impression. These photographs resemble the cavities on the surface of reality, which is filled with the look of the actual world that is rather independent. In these new photographs, Wang Yishu no longer constructs complex metaphors, instead, a sudden enlightenment towards light, color and shadow. In some settings or moments, Wang uses strobe lights to sculpt or dissect the lighting environment of the space, and he creates artificial shadows to disturb the world in his photographs.
