Titled "With No Orbit," this presentation intentionally takes a freeform archival approach, breaking away from traditional hierarchies and sequences in the content. This design allows readers to naturally engage with any student's work. Strategically placed graphic circles act as openings, representing where an unseen thread passes through. This thread signifies the hidden connections among the cohort, forming an invisible network of engagement. 2023Publication RoleArt Director &amp; Designer *Image and text credits within this work belong to RCA Photography MA '23 <img width="3840" height="3840" width_o="3840" height_o="3840" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/02296435b8854fb45f22ca76bae97dbbd4d6dd8286dffecacaf5ab83273ad78d/cover-square-2.png" data-mid="189885612" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/02296435b8854fb45f22ca76bae97dbbd4d6dd8286dffecacaf5ab83273ad78d/cover-square-2.png" /> <img width="2124" height="2124" width_o="2124" height_o="2124" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ad0639af57a95c5ae6da65d6daf66113f9e95993edff8af20a0980f5daf04381/cover-shadow-crop-2.png" data-mid="189885161" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ad0639af57a95c5ae6da65d6daf66113f9e95993edff8af20a0980f5daf04381/cover-shadow-crop-2.png" /> Publication Lanuching Day <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0e4cd1c207126243e239a661d061ade4ec27285cdd65f392fac5c5494421e574/_MG_8428.jpg" data-mid="187263249" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0e4cd1c207126243e239a661d061ade4ec27285cdd65f392fac5c5494421e574/_MG_8428.jpg" /> <img width="615" height="614" width_o="615" height_o="614" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/603bd1dde627b2fc873b2500372f7f83e7f4779f1bfa5c69d082fd77d3f3f181/Artboard-2.png" data-mid="187544761" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/615/i/603bd1dde627b2fc873b2500372f7f83e7f4779f1bfa5c69d082fd77d3f3f181/Artboard-2.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/412283f2636c22a54850671aeb7196c06248f7d0c49dba26b3a43409a88e6f66/Frame-8.png" data-mid="187263245" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/412283f2636c22a54850671aeb7196c06248f7d0c49dba26b3a43409a88e6f66/Frame-8.png" /> <img width="3840" height="2160" width_o="3840" height_o="2160" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7e8990dea73587f7d5c06183b13103a66107084459571cffabe1e51e49dafd3/Frame-7.png" data-mid="187433434" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f7e8990dea73587f7d5c06183b13103a66107084459571cffabe1e51e49dafd3/Frame-7.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f54e205aa589d85fbf69f4aad528108921b249c4eb549300528c4e63d82cf408/_MG_8431-2.jpg" data-mid="187263252" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f54e205aa589d85fbf69f4aad528108921b249c4eb549300528c4e63d82cf408/_MG_8431-2.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1440" width_o="1920" height_o="1440" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/11b8d5f937b7087f8f2880937d3e3c777c25395a8ed8a3533a2dd070b78bcd36/_MG_8430-2.jpg" data-mid="187263253" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/11b8d5f937b7087f8f2880937d3e3c777c25395a8ed8a3533a2dd070b78bcd36/_MG_8430-2.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e2a1486dd0c2575d90e0c7a4bef1615674da5403cf24e08711085ce900bc9025/Frame-5.png" data-mid="187263246" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e2a1486dd0c2575d90e0c7a4bef1615674da5403cf24e08711085ce900bc9025/Frame-5.png" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8d95fc1837451f399451352b2351201fcf8469d66173a594e501a14d929126e4/Frame-6.png" data-mid="187263242" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8d95fc1837451f399451352b2351201fcf8469d66173a594e501a14d929126e4/Frame-6.png" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/62e66dee5a1d4ecda9d2f998e89e93e982ddd46ad885f5be7bff53fb0443dd9b/_MG_8424-2.jpg" data-mid="187263251" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/62e66dee5a1d4ecda9d2f998e89e93e982ddd46ad885f5be7bff53fb0443dd9b/_MG_8424-2.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1280" width_o="1920" height_o="1280" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/84bc769fac33d164a79fc6f360fd20af9c4ad35108e9087929c8f144c10dc1d2/_MG_8421.jpg" data-mid="187263247" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/84bc769fac33d164a79fc6f360fd20af9c4ad35108e9087929c8f144c10dc1d2/_MG_8421.jpg" /> https://xinranzhou.com/Dwellville Fri, 01 Apr 2022 22:32:39 +0000 Xinran Zhou https://xinranzhou.com/Dwellville Dwellville Dwellville, a village of emotional dwellings, is a series of visual forms accommodating intangible memories. These physical, touchable forms invite attention, connections, and interactions with our memories. The installation integrates real stories, graphics, and 3D shapes to show a process of visual interpretation.
