We've all had this experience in front of the camera.
I'm going to pose again and again.
The sight of the camera still makes us nervous.
If you put the camera in the theater
Photos are seen as a dramatic performance in front of the camera.
Can I be released?
"Real Image" is trying to reverse the stereotypes of photography.
To offer you a private stage of self-release for eager performance.
In the cross-border mix of photography and drama
We invite you to join a journey of metabolism of life.
This time, you just play yourself.
And the camera is your faithful witness.
For your exclusive photography and drama experience.
"Real Image" is a completely new private, custom-made photography drama project officially launched by P4 Theater in 2020.
It was a rediscovery journey of self-discovery that was made up of eight dramatic events.

There were only two participants per trip
You, Real Image's "Intruder" in front of your phone screen.
And the cameraman, Real Image's "separate."
In the eight well-designed interactive theatre experiences
The intruders will be with the separatists.
In the presence of the camera
It's just that I don't know what to do.
I'm going to finish a deep and unique spiritual quest.
A mysterious, new, relaxed person.
P4 Theater "Real Image" fermentation
P4 Theater sits at 19.90 km north of the Beijing Central axis, the Tien An Gate.
It's a black box in Beijing's Sculptural Area.
A fermenter for the video show experiment.

The theater was born out of reflection on photography
In the case of photographs, they are viewed by photographers and photographers.
This is a dramatic moment in the event.
It reveals the true spiritual world in which the filmmaker is hiding in front of the mirror.
A black velvet curtain cuts p4 into two worlds: black and white.
Half of the black is stage and private studio.
It's a symbol of an open mind.
Half of the whites are viewers and leisure areas.
It's a sign of eyes staring.

The black-white intersection is just like the two young people in the P4 Theaterlogo who are spinning dances.
They're viewers, they're integrated, they're sculptures.
"Who am I?"
Who am I? How am I supposed to live with my desires?
"Real Image" wants to help you find the answer in a two-person interactive show before and after the camera.

The nature of photography is a performance by both the target and the cameraman.
As the angels of Benjamin Messiah
This performance looks to the future while looking at the past.
It's the first time I've ever been there.
It is a creative moment for photographers to interact with those who are filmed.
It collides all the history and memories of the filmmaker at this moment.
It's also a common vision for the next two people.
A successful performance is an instant proof of the truth.
It will be a memory for the participants to grow up.
To join the archaeology of human civilization in the distant future...

"Real Image" is the stage where this performance takes place.
It's a place where self-image becomes visible in photo interaction.
The truth is that it exists.
There is no real desire within us to speak out.
It's like, a variety of transformations in which desire subsides in everyday life.
Desire is revealed in the distance from which the truth and the image are explored.
A mirror on stage.

In the eight step-by-step drama
The filmmaker did a single performance in front of the camera.
Through normality, spread yourself.
We want to be with you in the theater to release me.
In one of the sub-sections of his image, he wrote
To explore the right distance from their true desires.
