Triptychs
Guangzhou Photo Biennial 2005
Mo Yi is a free-lance photographer living in Tianjin. His work denounces urban life styles which he personnaly dislikes for practical and psychological reasons. He denounces, with emotion filled images, the tiresom rythm and the oppressing feeling created by the city and he draws up a visual catalogue of the armoured doors installed in the dwellings, accounts for deep uneasiness and tension of our contemporaries or metamorphose with irony the mob of the subway into "intimacy". In short, Mo Yi reveals us the feelings of smothering, crispation, loneliness and coldness which he feels in the city life. The recourse to a red light gives his stress even more force and power. His photographs are not a game but an attempt to approach the living conditions and fate of today's man, at the same time it is a form of self delivery.
