Catalogue Note

"That was a dream 15 years ago, moments in time and pieces of stories that only now coalesce, a land of fairytales where all was accessible. I will never know its secret, and I can’t analyze it either. But the hearts and minds of that strange moment remain sublime, mythic, riddled as before."
YANG ZHILIN, DECEMBER 2005
