不应讨论摄影作为艺术是如何，而应讨论艺术作为摄影形式是如何 —— “摄影小史” 瓦尔特 本雅明
这仿佛是本雅明对杜塞尔多夫摄影学派的先知或提前书写的注脚，自贝歇尔夫妇和他们的学生们以来，杜塞尔多夫学派没有停止对艺术作为摄影形式是如何的不断探索。这里面包括对摄影作品尺寸的定义，从作品自身观念的需要出发，突破了布列松时代画册大小的惯例，不断出现大幅乃至巨幅作品，保持着展览作品与画册的距离。
然而，一本关于这些巨幅作品的画册却引起了我更大的兴趣：摄影作品以“巨大”的尺度摄影了“宏大”的对象，而画册再以“在手上”的尺度复制了这些摄影作品，于是我借由我手上的画册和那些“宏大”的原始对象产生了联系，而画册本身成为了我作品的对象。
这些感受到的“宏大”对象（教堂，星空，万神殿……），将我的思绪反而带进了各样“微小”之物（碎玻璃，矿石，万神殿里的游客丢的垃圾与一个羽毛...... )，于是，我将这些与宏大之物可能产生也可能不产生关联的微小之物，和画册放在了一起，借扫描再次复制，让它们并置，重叠，联姻，寻找可能的新的生成。
以极微小来看极宏大，这是我继“芥子须弥”系列后，东方式感受的接续。

„Instead of discussing photography as Art, we should discuss Art as photography - „Kleine Geschichte der Fotographie“, Walter Benjamin
The sentence above by Walter Benjamin in 1931 is a prophecy and footnote for the Düsseldorf school of photography. Since Bernd and Hilla Becher, their students, Düsseldorf School has ceaselessly explore „Art as Photography“. This includes the definition of the size of photographic works, renew the conception of photographic works themselves. They consistently broke through the scale and size in Bresson era, where photography is bound into picture album. They practiced large-scale or even huge size of works, which maintains the distance between exhibition works and the album.
However, this album book in front of me, about huge size works, aroused my bigger interest: These photographic works took „grand“ subjects on the „immense“ scales. But this replicas represented those huge sized works on a handy size album, so that I can hold the album on my hands. It is the way I approach those original immense subjects. Now this album itself has become the object of my work.
When I gaze these „magnificent“ objects such as churches, stars, the Pantheon, garden, etc, my thoughts however enters into the dust of the „tiny“ objects, such as broken glass, ore, tourists throwing trash and a feather of Pantheont, and so on. These tiny objects may or may not be relevant with those huge themes. It doesn’t matter. I just put the tiny things onto the album, and look for new generating things by scanning, juxtaposed, overlapped, joint…
From the microcosmic to see the enormous, this is my successor to „Mustard seed“ in my series of Stone of Damocles. It continue my Eastern feeling.
