I communicated with audiences of the exhibition space of Chengdu, China from my country . I have a series of photographs of night which I took with digital camera, android  phone camera, video camera.  I sent  350 selected images for exhibition. I offered audiences to exchange their views about night and asked them to send their photographs of night, I also offered them to  take any of the printed images of my exhibition. I accepted all the  images of audiences who have taken photos with iPhone, mobile phone or any kind of camera. I drafted my hand-written offer for exhibition which is translated in Chinese and displayed with my works.

Although I have no experience of the audiences of Chengdu, I connected myself through particular visual experiences.  Some of the audiences sent me their night visions expressing through images. In this way, the activities of the 'Nocturnal' became a phenomenon which could excite our spirit. Night is dark, but it's not absolute- we are able to continue our journey in that darkness. My 'Nocturnal' is a kind of journey. If  people feel the motivation to carry on that journey with me, it's a chance to communicate with those people from every corner.
