In 2009, Liu Jingxun temporarily turned camera from Xihaigu to Gannan, which is also a most popular subject in photograph. Liu Jinxun's behavior is highly risky to me because first he has to fight with the most photogenic images and fixed aesthetic taste of the audience, with the bright sunlight and weather-beatern faces in Tibet.

To our surprise, he dropped Mamiya, a very complicating camera which he had consistently used. First he alienated himself in medium carrying a Lomo camera to Gannan. Medium is the material, which vital for art expression. Choosing medium is choosing attitude. During the work of "Other Places", the un-adjustability of Lomo forced the photograph to respect the images. Since there's no more choice, the work becomes more spontaneous and free.
