In this exhibition, Xu based her work on the network resources accessible easily online, blurring the boundaries between individuals. In the Internet age, strangers’ movie reviews,

pictures of the online shopping sites, e-books and all kinds of accesses are open to the

public. As a result, our daily behavior, and the imprints left in the network, are another

kind of anonymous "presence". In Theodoros Angelopoulos’ movie Eternity and a day, the

protagonist once talked to himself "Recently, my only connection with the world is the

stranger opposite me. He responded to me with the same song. Who is he? What kind of

person? I wanted to go to him but I gave up. It’s better to just imagine ." Before us, life

has been repeated tens of millions of times, and perhaps, there are not be so different in

our ways of presence. Xu combines her resident experience in Zhujiajiao, approaching

this existence in an almost self-talking way.
