How do we coexist with the disorder of the world? This has been a long-standing concern for Xiaofeng. His works are closely related to his upbringing and experiences. "Home" appears as a core element in his major creations. Centered around the theme of "home," He utilizes a range of mediums such as video, sound, animation, installations, and sculptures to explore themes deeply intertwined with the audience, such as the hidden political motivations behind everyday life, the establishment and reshaping of landscapes, borders, and migrations. Behind these themes, feelings of sorrow emotion, and critical realities often coexist. For the artist, focusing on the minutiae of the present is a powerful way to understand the world in which we live. By showcasing the unpredictable and chaotic aspects of the world, Xiaofeng simultaneously expresses his reflections on contemporary life.
