In this project, a video, a photographic book and an exhibition were produced.
The subject of the video 别摇了滚 is the state of the assembly of rock music fans. It reflects that part of collectivity and social identity that should be broken through. The narratives are taken from two western sociological works. One of them directly criticises the collective in a didactic way and the other tells about the psychological conflicts of people in an empirical way in practice. In the same year, the video was exhibited in "You are... once you come here" and in 2021 in Wuhan K11 "Panorama Future".
The exhibition "You are… once you come here" invited 5 local young artists from Shenzhen. Together with Yue Yunfeng, they have performed at the famous Brewing Sugarjar Livehouse in Shenzhen. In the unique context of Shenzhen, "You are..." is namely "You are Shenzhener when you come here", the influence of which serves as a city slogan and also admires many young people (labor force). But it has caused great controversy at the same time. These influences and controversies come precisely from people's expectations and questions about collectivity. With the semi-open theme "You are… once you come here", the immersive exhibition presents in a theatrical way that has formed a temporary collective space with behaviour, video, sound, body, etc. The artists and the audience from the exhibition are also part of the collectivity in the current situation. They discuss and reflect on the dependence on social collectivity that is unconsciously caused by the individual.
The photographic works have a certain romantic undertone, they collect the scenes of the performances of the Chinese rock music ecology and the related group portraits in the two years around 2018. These images constitute the vague collective perception or individual memory.
