Qiyan Wang

Wang Qiyan(b.2000) is a photographer based in London.Proficient in symbolising objects in their surroundings and utilising them as the primary means of creative expression.

He is interested in the visualisation of human emotions, transforming people's inner emotions into different forms of light for creation. He tends to develop to expand the interdisciplinarity of photography, to integrate installation, sound, light, sculpture, etc. to deepen the audience's experience.

A good art creation should not only stand by itself, but should deepen the audience's participation through the integration of various art forms.

We always live in rules and institutions

People often establish rules to discipline themselves. This project attempts to concretise the concept of "rules" by utilising the characteristic of a laser level, in order to "examine" the artefacts of human social life. Through this examination, it aims to question the correctness and necessity of rules and institutions.

The purpose is to encourage people to examine their own lives through self-reflection rather than being bound and judged by social systems, to listen to the voices deep within themselves. It seeks to bravely break free from the limitations imposed by social systems on their way of living and interacting with others, in order to pursue their true selves.
