A study inspired by French cinema
These photographs were inspired by the French movie The 400 Blows . I wasn’t aware of its influence until I saw the final images—the movie had travelled from the back of my mind on to the film.
Ha! Art likes to creep up on you like that, doesn’t it?
I remembered theses verses from an ancient poem when I see the waves.
长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海。
李白
A time will come to ride the wind and cleaves the waves,
I’ll set my cloud-white sail and cross the sea which raves.
Li Bai
(translated by Prof. Xu Yuan Chong)
