My artistic development is a constant search for new ways of media use… I like Flusser’s idea that a photographer plays with his apparatus and that his game does not create a new reality but finds new uses of this apparatus (or, to be more precise, its programmed capabilities). However, this game is precisely my addiction and makes me use (probably, consume) photography more and more. The thing to do is to analyze this game, and consequently to study the medium.
Despite of the media-centric focus, photographs and videos are evidence of what is happening in reality for me. Hence, I think of my works as studies of the reality that surrounds me, myself and issues that are important to me such as culture, religion and gender. That is, anthropological and topographical issues, but with a narcissistic focus. The aim is to study these issues and then merge them in art objects through the chosen medium. This process resembles me creating a museum of reality (or probably the cabinet of curiosities), in which every project is like a hall with ready-made exhibits.

Graphic design by Wei.
Hi there,
I came across your magazine one day whilst waiting for my yoga class at an obscure newsagency.
I’m a graphic design student here in Melbourne, and I will admit I haphazardly chanced upon your magazine when I was browsing for art/design material at the disheveled store. Luckily I was in a rummagin’ mood because I decided to look behind a fishing magazine that day and saw the beautifully designed masthead: “Pigeons and Peacocks”. I flipped through it quite aloof at the time but I was very impressed with the design of the publication.
I went around later on that week to the bigger stores here (Borders, and magazine specialty shops) and couldn’t find it, (I do wonder still where will I be able to get future issues?)
Anyway, maybe it was the purple, or the non-coated stock, maybe it was the beautiful fat didoni used in the headings but I went back and bought it!
When I finally sat down and started reading the magazine, I was astonished! I thought this was no ordinary fashion publication, apart from the complete lack of advertising and commercial intentions, it seemed so sincere. I really felt the passion you guys have, even from the opening address from the editor. It’s lovely that you guys have made such an accessible magazine too – I feel like people with little fashion interest could pick it up and read it. It would be amazing if you guys had more editorial content too.
Well that’s my 2c, and I wish you guys luck and hope you keep up the fantastic work you guys are doing!
p.s.
When I actually started reading I thought I HAVE to write to them and tell them how good of a job they are doing haha, and that I would want to be part of it or help somehow – apart from quite happily volunteering my design services, I’m not sure what I can contribute other than my feedback…best regards,
Wei

Hi there.
I LOVE the magazine. It’s original.
I’m thinking of doing Fashion Journalism next year at London College of Fashion.
I write fashion articles at the moment for a free publication paper called ‘The Project’ so I just thought I’d say Hi and show you some of my work.
I would love to get involved in your magazine anyway I can, especially writing articles. I have lots of ideas!
Thanks.
How did we do?
