三影堂+3画廊很荣幸举办良秀首次摄影个展《从有到冇》。良秀2017年获得三影堂摄影奖大奖。 她的作品呈供了艺术家本人的身体以及她即刻的凝视：在一个俨然是当下世界中最强有力的政治经济体的社会中，于社会边缘燃烧着的火焰，但不论是在当下还是刚刚过去的时刻，却也持续面临着关于平等、性别、艺术家身份的基本考验。
自《边缘》系列起，良秀初次以拍摄者的身份开始创作。她拿起相机，完全出于本能开始纯粹的拍摄，以创作者的身份从本人的生活经验出发，最本能、忠实的呈现了她眼中的边缘群体。边缘，意味着被抛弃。创作者曾经在被抛弃的边缘社会中挣扎，逐渐开始通过摄影以呈现黑暗的方式来追求光明。“我在边缘中生长，我曾是它的受虐者，现在是它的外交官。”摄影在此可以被看作为一种自我审视和自我帮助的手段。《边缘》系列正式开启了良秀的摄影之路。
良秀作品中的力量来自于直面真实中往复产生的刺痛和自愈。她通过摄影这种方式和外界清算过去。在此过程中，作品开始由在《边缘》、《如是我火》中无意识、源于本能的创作形式为基础，加入有意识的尝试。《冇》由此而生。作品以她生活着的城市为背景，由个人创作、照片档案、文字档案共同组成了一个完整的思考体系。良秀在《冇》中勾画了一个寻求脱离“苦”的体系。通过对“苦”的成因的思考，良秀认为“八苦”源于“五蕴”，而苦的直接原因来源于“我执加于相上的分别心”。“我执加于相上的分别心”具有虚幻性和流动性的特点，以使苦乐可以转换。良秀以她认为的这种苦乐可以转换的特性，来尝试验证脱离苦的可能性，并研究为达成这种可能性需要付出的成本。通过加入自我经验的对照，发现外界痛苦是有可能被脱离的。但在脱离外界痛苦后，人所感受到的苦便从个体经验上脱离，上升到全体都有可能面对的空虚及生老病死之苦。这种苦伴随每个个体出生而来，随着生生不息延续传递。

Three Shadows +3 Gallery is honored to host Liang Xiu's first solo exhibition, Something to Nothing. Liang won the Three Shadows Photography Award in 2017. Liang Xiu’s work offers up the body of the artist and the gaze of the artist at once: a burning fire at the fringes of a society which is at once the most powerful political economy in the world, and yet continues to encounter essential challenges around equality, sexuality and artistic identity, both in its present and recent past.
Liang Xiu began her work as a photographer with the series Fringe of Society. She picked up a camera and started to take photos purely out of instinct, focusing on society’s abandoned and marginalized. She pursued light through darkness. "I grew up on the margins of society,” she says. “I suffered inside them. Now I'm their diplomat." Photography can be seen here as a means of self-examination and self-help.
The power in Liang Xiu’s work derives from her constant pain and the self-redemption caused by confronting this reality. She attempts to come to peace with the outside world through photography. Following from the unconscious, instinctive production of the images in Fringe of Society and Fire Like Me, she gradually turned to a more conscious mode of expressing her ideas. Nothingness emerged. She based the workon the city she lived in, weaving together her personal creations, photoarchives, and text files, constructing a complete system of thinking. In Nothingness, Liang Xiu sketched out a system of how to break away from “Bitterness.” Contemplating the root cause of“Bitterness,” Liang Xiu points out that the “Eight Bitternesses” comes from the“Five Connotations,” and the direct cause of “Bitterness” stems from “the bias caused by ‘ways of seeing’(我执加于相上的分别心)”. The bias inherent in perception is abstract and fluid, enabling “Bitterness” and “Joy” to transform into one another. Liang Xiu uses these characteristics to study whether it is possible to get rid of bitterness and to study its cost. Reflecting on her own experience, she arrived at the conclusion that it is possible to pull oneself away from suffering. However, that only means that one is separated from the external pain, or in other words, one’s pain is detached from the individual experience. It doesn’t go away, however. It is elevated to the level that the subject is forced to face the emptiness and the suffering of life and death that may be shared by almost all human beings. This kind of suffering is there once one is born, and it passes along to other beings endlessly.
