My Life is Red, Yellow And Blue Respectively (Blue Series) 我的生活分别是发红，发黄，发蓝的 （蓝系列）

Abstract

In 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
