I realize that I 've found a reason for doing art works - that is , everything is presumable;

"Presumable is the life of young people in Yangjiang;"

"Presumable is my bride;"

"Presumable is the honeymoon:"

And the approach to making the art works offering my from real life.

To me, "Undecided" holds a special charm.

--Excerpted from "Settled Once and for all" a dialogue between Zheng guogu and an anonym, 1997

Zheng Guogu tells an encyclopedic story of modern life. He captures our daily life on every level and aspect. For example, he carefully observes youth culture; fashion, communication, and events such as a wedding in western costume, etc. We can also find sports car models, advanced video games youngsters with heavily dyed hair, and group violence in his films. His pieces are often shot as performed by his friends or actors. In actuality, the effect of his works is not intended to be medium-specific. They are only meant to speak for the complicated cultural phenomena of our era.

我发现，我现在找到了一个做作品的理由就是——什么都可以假设； “阳江青年生活可以假设；” “我的新娘可以假设；” “度蜜月可以假；” 而做作品的方式可能是在真实的生活场景中体验我的假设。 “还未想好”对我来说有一种特殊的魅力。“ －－摘自＜＜一次搞定＞＞郑国谷和匿名者的对话，1997

郑国谷的作品带有现代百科全书式的叙述性，他以更感性的方式捕捉了不断变化的日常生活的方方面面，他的摄影细腻地记录了年轻一代、时尚、媒体、西方式婚礼、模型玩具汽车、电脑游戏软件、染发的年轻人、蜜月旅行、男女婚礼，新新青年暴力打斗，基本由艺术家异常，由朋友或赏表演的结果，35厘米摄影组成了35X25厘米连续排列的微缩摄影，实质上，效果特点与内容叙事没有任何联系。他带有电影手法的小摄影再现了我们社会新物质文化的特征。 －－冰逸。
