Like a patient "visual archaeologist", he explores contemporary settings marked by layers of cultural memory, constantly experimenting with the language of photography to challenge habitual ways of seeing.

Through the tension between clarity and blurring, details that might otherwise escape attention gradually emerge in Wang's images, revealing a quiet yet profound cultural dimension beneath the surface of everyday life.

The exhibition is structured into four sections, tracing Wang's sustained inquiry into everyday experiences and the processes through which images are created, perceived, and understood.

In the exhibition's preface, Qu explores photography as a "third eye" through which modern people perceive the world, raising questions about how the invention of photography has transformed the relationship between perception, cognition, body, and mind.
