This work was made intermittently from the end of 2014. It has been two years up to now, but the work remains unfinished. I had to lie in my bed for most of the time due to lumber pain. There was a huge bookshelf beside my bed, so I stared blankly at the shelf all day long. When I lied in my bed, I could only see one side of the books. They, with various colours and shapes, were arrayed on the shelf, which was kind of spectacular. The installation resembles a tiny part of my bookcase. And all the books here are classics in 1970s. Almost everyone who has experienced 70s has read those books. Collecting these books actually symbolises a special reminiscence of the past, which stops the time to some extent. Though this installation is totally different from my paintings considering shape and form, the culture behind them are the same. That is the contrast between the present and the social culture in 1970s. Everyone is deeply influenced by his age. This is the trace of time and cultural attributes. No one exists ahead of his age and culture. I will finish this work after I recover. It is a truly memorable work to me.
