Near or Far
This series of pictures are all about fireworks in Beijing in recent years and they were taken between 2019 and 2022, of which some were taken outside the Fifth Ring Road on New Year's Eve and during Lantern Festival, when fireworks were not entirely banned in Beijing; other pictures are almost all related to some big major events including the 70th anniversary of the founding of People’s Republic of China in October 2019, the 100th anniversary of the founding of Communist Party of China in July 2021 and 2022 Winter Olympics.
These pictures are not just about the fireworks. What’s more important, is the people who watch them, and how they approach these events. In general, seeing fireworks in Beijing is not an easy and everyday thing for most people. When I took these pictures, I did not always try to look for the best angle for fireworks, but sometimes tried to observe the event from the perspective of an ordinary resident in Beijing who may think fireworks are important or not, same for associated major big events.
That’s why I named this project “Near or Far”.
在北京看烟花
这些图片拍摄于2019年至2022年，有一些是除夕和元宵节的夜晚在北京的五环边上拍摄的，那时北京全市范围内还没有禁放烟花。另一些图片，则几乎都和一些重大事件有关：2019年10月新中国成立70周年；2021年7月建党百年；2022年2-3月北京冬奥会和冬残奥会。
这些图片，也不仅仅是关于烟花，更重要的是观看它们的人们，以及如何观看。总体上来说，在北京看到烟花不是一件容易和日常的事，或许对一些人来说容易，对另一些人来说不是，对一些人来说重要，对另一些人来说不是，而这些重大事件同样如此。
有时很近，有时很远。
