Xu Guo: I always have a special feeling for broken things that relates to my experience of growing up, one that moves the instinct of the inner heart. In countless dreams, I find myself back in the streets where I grew up as a sleepwalker, immersing myself in warm childhood life fragments that make me too delighted to leave. When I wake up, I cannot find these scenes. When I see the ruins of old houses, I am touched f rom the bottom of my heart. Such a feeling brings tears to my eyes and moves my soul. I tend to cherish my memories through recording them, discussing loss and survival, and thinking about the complex relationship of life a nd death.Recently, however, I am experimenting with telling a story, a story wandering between reality and dream, dwelling in secret locations and slight ly dramatic absurdity.
