This is a group of daily random works accumulated by CHEN Xiaoyun over many years. They are not derived from an idea or a concept formed beforehand. Taking pictures is part of his habits, part of his intuition, and of course part of being blind. He shot a  great deal of pictures, and then started to read them, distinguishing individual taste from a mass of pictures. For photography, it should be not only an excellent picture, but also some kind of spiritual abstraction, not even like his own photography, and not even like any kind of photography. Then, he finds an angle to prove individual taste. Shooting is random, but it is difficult to understand, then, handling these images from a plenty of shootings, because he must be constantly deal with the complex standard in his own mind.

Platinum and palladium imaging is the most mysterious ancient form in darkroom of manual techniques. It is also the most consistent of photographic imaging method, its formula and shadow are especially suitable for these works. Because these photos were taken randomly, as similar as our daily habit of using a mobile phone camera. However, it is suitable for using the most traditional,classical and consistent ways to present. In fact, this relation is a way for the artist to understand the conception of time.
