Yinghan Qian's Photographic Series Explores Memory and Time Through Artificial Fossils
Artist Yinghan Qian presents 'A Second Without Inertia,' a photographic series that examines memory and temporal perception. The work features constructed fossils and childhood objects arranged to create ambiguous artifacts that question linear time. Through imaginative archaeology, Qian explores how recollection transforms and reconstructs past experiences. The images evoke a suspended state where fabricated relics and memory fragments coexist without chronological progression. This series was featured in C41 Magazine, using photography to investigate the intersection of archaeology and reverie.
