People Sitting Around Watching Dancers in the Park公园围坐看跳舞的人们

In a park in Guangzhou, people of different ages, occupations, and social backgrounds sit together around an open space, watching a group of dancers. This temporary gathering softens the social boundaries that ordinarily structure urban life, allowing the park to function as a relatively open and egalitarian public space.

I photographed the spectators by moving in a circle around them, then unfolded the continuous viewpoints into a single elongated image. The enclosed spatial arrangement is flattened into a linear sequence, in which gestures, expressions, and lines of sight gradually appear across the frame. Although the dancers remain outside the image, the spectators themselves become the subjects of observation. The work explores the shifting relationship between watching, participating, and being watched in public space.

在广州的一处公园里，不同年龄、职业与生活背景的人围坐在一起，观看中央空地上的舞蹈。短暂的聚集模糊了城市中原本清晰的身份边界，使公园成为一种相对开放、平等的公共空间。

我沿着人群环形拍摄，并将连续的视角展开为一张长图。原本围合的空间被拉平成线性画面，观看者依次进入视野，形成一条由姿态、表情与目光构成的连续序列。舞者位于画面之外，观众同时成为被观看的对象。作品借此呈现公共空间中观看、参与与被观看之间不断转换的关系。
