The exhibition at a space gallery, bromeliad: inhabiting water, shows a world of unimaginable vices. The photography, sound and videos depict the nature as a source of bad timing evil doers. It tempts people to do bad and terrible things through the grotesque depiction of worms, forests and other species. Their unrealistic supposed beauty has made people feel a desperate sense of alienation and troubles. Etc.
