The exhibition finished!

 A visitor experiencing my work

The exhibition finished last night.  Lots of visitors saw and experienced my work.  I got good reactions, interesting comments and opinions.  The followings are some of them.


 - I often look at the dust on the sunbeam when I lie on bed.  So it makes me think of a sunny lazy Sunday morning.      Lukas

-  It's amazing how you lose perspective if you look at this.  It's suddenly something you don't know what it is.  Is it far?  Is it close by?  Is it there?  What is it? Just dust... great dust      Anonymous

- The universe is very close.      Rogier

- Surprising & amazing how something so ordinary is changed into such a beautiful experience.  Super effective.  It feels like looking at dots or lights, dots of small different colored fires.      Anonymous       



This project is still going on and hope to show you more later!

Shots from "Study #4 for Prophet Machine"

The above shots were taken for "Study #4 for Prophet Machine" performed by Patrich Faurot and Roxana Valdez last month.  This piece was a series and the previous work "Study #3 for Prophet Machine" was held last December.  Choreographer Patrick continues a research towards a mechanism of divine prophecy through profane dance.  The subjects of the 4th study are apotheosis and whirling, or apotheosis through whirling, and time, influenced by "Salome" by Oscar Wilde.  More shots are here.

Rossini's "Tancredi" at Deutsche Oper Berlin

Today is the premiere of Rossini's "Tancredi" at Deutsche Oper Berlin.  
Some seats still remain.  If you listen to the voice of Amenaide (Patrizia Ciofi), I'm sure you feel like you are flying in the sky. Her voice is just incredible.
