New Channel/新航道
Photography, 2019 ,Yi Zhou

New Channel is one of the largest study-abroad English training institutions in the country. I hope to improve my English learning here. In my spare time, I like to carry my Ricoh GR2 camera, along with a Leica and a Samsung pocket film camera, because they are convenient to carry and good for spontaneous photography. The space at New Channel is very appealing to me. The classrooms are divided into rooms of various sizes by glass, and the walls are painted in solid blue, yellow, or white, and are adorned with slogans. When one is in this space, they might feel a bit monotonous and dull, especially in some of the smaller VIP rooms, where it seems like the space is compressing them. I've noticed that people have left traces in some corners. These marks, left due to different motivations and emotions when they were in these spaces, create a connection between people and the space, inadvertently. These traces bring vitality to the otherwise monotonous space.
