As a good source of the creation, historic sense has the significance for art creation on mainly the realistic attitude between the past and the future, in other words, the so called “view to the history” can show its bigger value only if it has been converted into modern cultural position.

Sun Xiaochen has set up the puzzles for us. We are curious for the disappearing objects in the seemingly absurd, but very real scene works, and reflect on the future and the present spewing from behind us. Because those cameras constantly release the following information to us: questioning the truth of all things including history is everyone's power. What is the historical truth? Those ceramic cameras without usage have told us it’s vain to try to reveal the historical truth. This suggests that the artist’s camera works remain as visual works, thus such present way displays the whole works with extreme trickiness. The ceramic cameras which has never recorded and can not record historical events and scenes, and those objects representing the traditional social power, desire, faith and fairness stay in the same space, and even endowed with the functions of recording and witnessing the spiritual awareness, social and legal system as well as religious belief by the artist. At a higher level, Sun’s such scene-based “seeing each other” layout is more similar to a trope “Intertextuality” in ancient Chinese poems and assays, i.e., “different parts illustrate each other and form a complete meaning” . While the borrowing of the exiting works gives prominence to the meaning and the motive chosen by the artist while showing their existing relationship with life. What is more interesting is that, they also form a complicated close relationship with Sun’s “camera” with an unidentifiable lost truth so as to arouse the interactivity and scene sense of the audiences. In fact like Sun’s nomination for the works “Insights”, the artists compare the present to the past and also traces back to the past in the present, calmly analyzing the bad habits and stubborn attitude of human being. 

We are in or face the space created by the artist, our past, conventional and common physical and psychological existence are re-set and combined while all solid things have vanished, everything refers to the place, everything is the present.
