2016年8月17日因驻留，我入住到柏林里希特菲尔德监狱39号房间，在这个房间里我呆了57天。监狱的位置很偏僻，矮矮的、很安静，唯有进出的大铁门声分外响亮。39号房间是长方形，长3.36米、宽2米，有扇生锈的铁窗，窗孔可以透光，开在高高的、我需要举起手站在床上才能够着的地方。从那窗孔里透进来的一点天光，非常微弱，即使在中午时分，也是若有若无。
最初几日我完全无法入睡，一到晚上一片漆黑，过道没有灯，房间里没有卫生间。我在想：原来住在这个房间的犯人长什么样？他经历了什么入狱？在这个空间里他一般都呆在哪个位置？会做些什么呢？出于好奇，我找来翻译，联系原监狱长，通过电话和邮件的方式，一周后我们终于找到了Stefen，并约好8月29日在39号房间见面。这是我们的第一次会面。
最初想找Stefen,并不是为了完成一件作品，而是想或许能通过这件事来对这个空间、也是对自己产生不同认识；亦或是通过这样的方式破除原有的规则。内部的认识和外部的再联系，让交流的过程愈发有趣。预想不到的碰撞后，作品也就出来了。
房间外的摄影图片是我这几年一直在尝试的，它涉及到对环境的干预措施，以及对生态的重新设计与改建——“如何试着用人为的力量去靠近自然”。在这组作品里，自然生物、植物、人体、建筑，都有一个被改造的过程，之后融合成一种不稳定的共生关系。
然而我知道自己不是一个好的“自然”。
在此感谢翻译张琼丹，谢谢你帮助我找到Stefen。
With an artist-in-residency program, Imoved into Room 39 at the Lichterfelde Prison in Berlin, Germany on August 17, 2016, and stayed in this room for 57 days. The prison is located in theoutskirts of town, the building is not tall, but quiet, only the metal gate atthe entrance can be sonorous. Room 39 is in the shape of a rectangle, measuring3.36 meters long and 2 meters wide, a rusted metal window through which thelight pierces in, placed high enough on the wall that I had to stand on the bedand raise my hand to reach it. The skylight that shines through the window isquite soft, even at noon it's hardly unnoticeable.
I could hardly sleep on thefirst few days: the room becomes pitch dark, and there is no light in the corridor,and no bathroom in the room. I wondered about what prisoner who used to occupythis room looked like, what crime did he commit that sent him to prison? Whichplace did he spend most of his time in this room? What did he do in the room? Out of curiosity, I invited a translator to help me contact the former prisonguard via telephone and email, one week later, we found Stefen. We made anappointment to meet at Room 39 on August 29 for the first time.
My initial intention of looking up Stefenwas necessarily to make this into a work of art. I wanted to grasp a differentunderstanding about myself through this incident and this room, or to figureout whether this approach would challenge existing principles.
The course ofour exchange was interesting, and I did not expect that our encounter wouldlead to a number of ideas for the following works of art, allowing me toconnect an internal understanding through external contact. Thereon, I hadengrained one of stefen's phrases into an axiom, "We sat here, chatted andchatted, and suddenly 12 years have gone by."
This series of photographs beyond the smallroom had been something I wanted to experiment with over the last few yearsthat address the approaches to intervene on the environment, by redesigning andreinventing our ecology. With the questions of, "How to approach nature throughartificial means," this series subjects nature, plants, the human body, andarchitectures to undergo a process of reform, which are then integrated into anunstable symbiosis. Meanwhile, I am aware that I am not a good "nature".
Hereby, I would like to thank myinterpretor Zhang Qiongdan for helping to find Stefen.
