Philosophy — LIFETIME—jimmyreckless

London has been wobbling during the pandemic as it enters the Tier 4 lockdown. While many people leaving the city, London has become a ghost town within days. With all that depression, I’ve decided to go out around the streets to take photographs of London from the ground water, capturing city mirrored upside-down in the water in order to dig some positiveness during this tough period, named it “镜中窥城 | City In the Mirror” meaning the view of London from the water reflection.

All photos are shot on iPhone 11 pro.

“In London, you don’t need a pro camera for taking photographs, just simply use your phone, and the landscape itself will do the rest for you.”

WHAT ART? / April 7, 2017 by Mansuo Zhang

FIGHT RACISM LIKE A RACIST

I always got this thought in my head: fight racism like a racist, because sometimes you gotta put yourself on the same level with everyone else. It is right to convert negative to something positive. Sometimes, the inferiority comes from yourself.

YSL: I'M IN LOVE WITH THE OPIUM

This is a YSL Opium fragrance ad inspired by the use of opium back in Qing Dynasty. The design of the ad follows a typical YSL ad style of placing a black and white image along the side of the text. The photograph is some Chinese people smoking opium addictively. Sometimes I love to make fun of the history and people with design. The way to expose the ugliness will remind people how beautiful we can be.

THIS IS NOT AN ESSAY FT. AI, WEIWEI

This is an intro page created for a class essay. The photo credit goes to Ai, Weiwei, a very controversial Chinese contemporary artists who flipped off to the Tian 'Anmen Square.

MONKEY SEE, MONKEY DO

This is obviously inspired by Ai, Weiwei, a photo of myself flipping off to my school. No hating, it is for fun.

GUCCI MAO

This is a parody of Mao, Zedong by using the Gucci bloom print. The theme is inspired by Gucci's #GucciGram art movement along with Gucci Tian collection, which is an integration of both past and the future

GUCCI: THE BEAUTY (UGLINESS) OF FOOTBINDING

This is another parody of foot binding in the old China with Gucci Tian print. Women's Foot binding in old China is one of the most disgusting things to me, which also turns to be something that western world will never ever ever ever understand. However, in old days, foot binding used to be considered as a symbol of beauty.....What a shame.
