Scroll is not a common reading habit today, but it can connect the tributaries of an image. As the viewer moves, the direction of narrative moves with him. Pieces of social life vaguely appear through the smudge marks, becoming a subjective photographic painting.
The artist exposed the scroll in the dark room in sections, making large strokes with processing solution on photographic paper. The work is neither photography nor painting. But it could also be seen as both photography and painting.
