We are skeptical about the essence of everything, if we start a measurement without giving it a standard. The complexity of things can hardly defined in a certain or a unique way . As a result, we have become increasingly conflicted and anxious, especially in the era of global information and the current catastrophic epidemic outbreaks throughout the world.

 

The Artist Shen Zhan observed the reliance on the "standard" among the social crowed, he tried to disrupt the standard in a unconventional manner. In the sealed “Room M”,when the daylight turned to dark, and green light emitted from the leveling instrument. The basic laws of horizontal and vertical are still there, but with a little movement, the light will become chaotic and messy.

 

At this time, what we might need to consider is that the rules are formulated by people, so does the disruption. In between the field of the clarity and uncertaintywhat will be our fear?

The creating process is a reasonable approach for us to understand the world and ourselves. In such manner, we can strip away the physical barriers and cognitive inertia that comes from ourselves when facing the outside world, these are the two points where all standards would start from. The works are naked, and would rarely lie. You will unconsciously be led to have an equal confrontation with her.

This is also like a fulcrum, easy to pry all the points that can be reached. Certainly, the fulcrum will not present itself distinctively, and perhaps the exploration will last through an entire lifetime.
