When I saw tea eggs, a traditional Chinese snack, I was surprised to realize that it was like a city map. Now that the virus has invaded almost every city in the world, so I hope to express these virus infestations in flowing colours and gradually devour each city
茶叶蛋 Tee egg
小时候茶叶蛋对我的美好记忆是替换水煮鸡蛋。我一直都很抗拒水煮蛋，抗拒那种直接的入口带来的蛋腥味，也不知道谁管那种味道叫“腥”，每次都会偷偷扔掉蛋黄。但只要是茶叶蛋，我的味蕾就可以照单全收。
When I was a child, tea eggs have good memories for me to replace boiled eggs. I have always resisted hard-boiled eggs, resisted the smell of eggs brought by the direct entrance, and I do n’t know who calls that smell "fishy", and every time I secretly throw away the yolk. But as long as it's a tea egg, my taste buds can be fully accepted.
茶叶蛋真正让我惊讶的却是在英国吃到Kathy做的，也许是在这能吃到茶叶蛋，或是惊叹Kathy的手艺，我慢慢剥开，却让脑子联想到城市地图，每一个茶叶蛋的纹路都不一样，随机，未知，又让人惊讶。
The tea egg really surprised me when I ate the tea egg made by Kathy in England. Maybe you can eat traditional Chinese tea eggs in the UK, or marvel at Kathy's cooking. I slowly peeled it off, and suddenly reminded me of the city map. The texture of each tea egg is different, random, unknown and surprising.
于是我就在疫情期间鸡蛋很紧张的情况下四处搜罗很多鸡蛋做城市项目实验。
So I collected a lot of eggs around to do city project experiments.
这些“地图”似乎很熟悉，就像是我们生活的每一个城市布局，仔细一看，却又不太像。
These "maps" seem very familiar, like every city layout we live in, but if you look closely, they are not very similar.
我想也许这些地图是来自食物的城市，
也许在食物的世界，也有一个地方叫“北京”
I think maybe these maps are from food cities,
Maybe in the world of food, there is also a place called "Beijing"
也许在食物的世界，也有一个地方叫“马拉喀什”
Maybe in the world of food, there is also a place called "Marrakech"
也许在食物的世界，也有一个地方叫“安特卫普”
Maybe in the world of food, there is also a place called "Antwerp"
也许在食物的世界，也有一个地方叫“伦敦”
Maybe in the world of food, there is also a place called "London"
拍摄过程中，不知道为什么看到这些蛋，这些城市，脑子里却反复出现“没有人是一座孤岛”，而我拍的这些一个个“城市”在疫情的此刻，却更孤独。
During the filming, I don't know why I saw these eggs. In these cities, "No one is an isolated island" repeatedly appeared in my mind, but these "city" I photographed were more lonely at the moment of the outbreak.
看不见的病毒入侵且吞噬着世界上几乎每一个城市，
城市之间似乎断了链接，
不能随意的飞到别的城市，也不能探索城市里有意思的地方
Invisible viruses invade and devour almost every city in the world,
There seems to be a broken link between the cities,
You can’t fly to other cities at will, or explore interesting places in the city,
我希望用流动的液体这种视觉语言代表病毒，表达病毒入侵我们的生活和城市，直至淹没城市记忆在这里生活的我们。
I hope to use the visual language of flowing liquid to represent the virus, expressing that the virus invades our lives and cities until we drown the memories of the city where we live.
隐身的病毒化为彩色液体，让无形的入侵变得戏剧和可见
The invisible virus turns into a colored liquid, making the invisible invasion dramatic and visible
可怕的病毒在摧毁，从另一个角度也是在重塑和反思
The terrible virus is destroying, from another perspective, it is also reshaping and reflecting
比如“每个人都是独立的个体，每一个隔离的房间就是一座孤岛，孤独是存在的，打破孤独，并不是把自己放在热闹里面，而是怎么和自己相处，我们不是没有看过在看似喧闹的场景里，一张张空洞的脸和孤独的心，真正摆脱孤独感，是知道怎么和自己呆着的时候觉得舒服，没有不安”
--我的一些重塑和反思
For example, "Everyone is an independent individual, and each isolated room is an island. Loneliness exists. Breaking loneliness is not about putting yourself in the bustling, but how to get along with yourself. We have not seen it before. In seemingly noisy scenes, empty faces and lonely hearts, truly getting rid of loneliness, is to know how to feel comfortable when you are with yourself, without any uneasiness. "
-Some of my remodeling and reflection
“城市”被彻底淹没后........
After "City" was completely submerged ...
