Chen Qihui’s artistic practice is based on photography, observing and distilling daily life to express the ambiguity, liminal state of the real world. His images are marginal and distant, but they maintain a certain echo between them.
In his photographic works, he draws on a different perspective of other young people to see himself, completing his own descriptions and self-portraits. At the same time, he begins to think about the connection between masculinity, geography and the body, about the plight of the adolescent. Nostalgia and the Oedipus complex are the focus of his practice, and he seeks to illuminate this dilemma through intimate narratives of young people’s lives and emotions, building a new understanding of masculinity that is liberated from gender norms.
