No full textIn the artist\u27s statement, Zhao Shaoruo explained that the My Life is Red, Yellow, And Blue Respectively photographic series documented the artist\u27s personal life (spiritually and materially). It is composed of three independent series: red, yellow, and blue. There are ten photos in each series. In the Red Series , there are five photos of his left-hand holding certificate, silk flag and rewards; there are other five photos of his right-hand holding deposit book, cashier\u27s check and a picture of his dog. In the artist\u27s words, his left hand holds honor and right hand holds wealth. Zhao was one of students at Tiananmen square democracy movement in 1989 while attending the Central Academy of Fine Art. He was arrested shortly after the incident and released the following year and arrested again for 50 days in 1994.

My Life is Red, Yellow And Blue Respectively (Yellow Series) 我的生活分别是发红，发黄，发蓝的 （黄系列）
No full textIn the artist\u27s statement, Zhao Shaoruo explained that My life is Red, Yellow and Blue Respectively photographic series documented the artist\u27s personal life (spiritually and materially). It is composed of three different series, red, yellow and blue. There are ten photos in each series. Photos in the yellow series originated from old documentation of Mao\u27s personal and political life. In the original photos, Mao is depicted by standing among pupils, workers and farmers; in others, he is depicted giving a speech or clapping amid a meeting. The message is to show Mao\u27s leadership and how he is beloved by people. However, the artist replaced Mao\u27s face with his own. Another thing the artist did throughout the series is to hang his foot in the air upon a photo. Zhao was one of the protesting students at Tiananmen square democracy movement while attending the Central Academy of Fine Art. He was arrested shortly after the event and released the next year and arrested again for 50 days in 1994. His defiance toward authorities may be reflected in this series by mocking at the deification of Mao. By replacing Mao’s face with his own, he deconstructed the sublimity and seriousness of the propaganda and furthermore, lashed out at the incumbent government.

No full textIn the artist\u27s statement, Zhao Shaoruo explained that the My Life is Red, Yellow, And Blue Respectively photographic series documented the artist\u27s personal life (spiritually and materially). It is composed of three independent series: red, yellow, and blue. There are ten photos in each series. The blue and yellow series share a common motif: the artist\u27s foot. The difference is that in the blue series, the artist uses the right foot, but in the yellow series, the artist uses the left foot. In the blue series, the artist uses photos of his nudity by the landmarks of Beijing, including the Great Wall, the Summer Palace, the Tiantan (the Temple of the Heaven), and an unidentifiable tower. In each photo, the artist was imitating Mao\u27s famous greeting gesture. Zhao was one of the students at Tiananmen square democracy movement in 1989 while attending the Central Academy of Fine Art. He was arrested shortly after the event and released the next year and arrested again for 50 days in 1994. This series may express his reflection and remonstration to China\u27s contemporary political and cultural situation. (Zhuocheng Jiang \u2726)https://digital.kenyon.edu/zhou/1617/thumbnail.jp
