On the whole show: there are 2 categories of works in the show, those collected by Longlati before and those made for the show.

For the works made for the show, I was influenced by the concept of traveling, of sea and sky, of navigating on a boat. So, there are works referring to horizon like Milles Horizon. The Portrait on the Surface tries to imagine faces seen below the surface of the water. Les Immortels is a reference to the Ship of Fools (cf. Pu Yingwei’s images). The work The Swells Within refer to the waves. In this case it is a person who has waves inside.
