A device for photographing based on a binocular camera imitating the distance between human eyes.When the audience opens the eyes at the same time, they will see overlapping lions and tigers, while closing the right eye, they will see a lion, and while closing the left eye, they will see a tiger.I remember when I was in primary school, the most controversial thing with my classmates was the lion and the tiger. The teacher replied that they lived on different continents and would not meet.

This series of works is based on the principle of human binocular vision. The artist has designed filming and viewing equipment that simulates the spacing between the eyes, allowing the audience to experience simultaneous observation of both the "past" and the "future." In the installation "400 million years ago, it was the ocean, and 400 million years later, it is the desert," the desert and the ocean are in fact a continuous whole, yet are separated due to the limitations of human binocular vision. By closing the right eye, the audience sees the ocean; by closing the left eye, they see the desert. When both eyes are open, a three-dimensional world appears visually. Like a broken magnet, where the red and blue poles were once one, from a perspective outside of human geology, do the desert and ocean stretch at the same rate? In "Past and Future Observer No. 1," the observation of the audience's eyes brings two separated individuals together in an embrace. In "Past and Future Observer No. 2," if Earth's 4.6 billion-year history were compressed into a single day, humanity would appear only in the final minute. Through the observer, the audience sees two clock hands moving in opposite directions, endlessly looping within this final minute...
