    No one built this moment:

    Emphasize the presence in the absent way

    JIAO NINGNAN

    In the short story because of the word limit, if you want the story to impress your readers,you have to use the "blank" tricks to make the readers feel that there is a more ambitious secret world behind the story depicted. For this purpose, Novelists have invented a way as their absence to broaden the readers' imagination.

     

    If we compare the information content of the film to a novel, then the amount of information on a single picture would be equivalent to the short stories or poetry. Unlike movies or videos, a single photo can only deliver limited information. But in my opinion, the information that a single image contains is just like the iceberg. If you are familiar with the "iceberg theory", you will know that we can only see a small part of the iceberg, and more parts is hidden in the water below. I tried creating images with the creative short stories way——a hidden "absentees". To consist with my past works, I picked up those scenes that exist in our daily life, but that are no clear time and geographical point. I put the young girls, the common fascination of human images, and their backs or related hints objects in these scenes. In this way, I want to make the image have more possibility, giving the viewers more inspiration.

     

    "Emphasize the presence in the absent way"as poetic exists in poetry, I would like to use images to show some things that can not be described with images. Just like the poems of the Polish poet Wawrzkiewicz:

     

    "Yes, only in the grand space of these past years there are some air hills— tombs buried with ridiculous secretand curses that stop halfway. The efforts of praise and delineation was buried there…

    To define things that need to be defined but can not be described.

    At that time I did not realize thatall these things will be happenand the exile will last a lifetime.
