Slide Show: Image and Text (continuous series..)











"Image and Text" is a series of photographs containing images that include texts within. While texts usually have a specific meaning, in these photographs, their literal meanings do not matter anymore. More important is their physical existence at all these occasions. Texts that matter once but don't matter anymore at this train museum, they are there just to show that history happened. Numbers that indicate identity of a train doesn't matter anymore. They are there just to indicate that train used to have a name No.51. Chinese calligraphy has become decorations. A line that is drawn from the bible is now on the wall to proclaim that there is a new fancy church , yelling " come in". A big banner in the June-Forth memorial is there to add a solemnity feeling.
