Luo: Have you established your personal artistic signature?

Jin: Yes and no. "Yes" means I can feel external feedback — my friends and mentors often say, "Your works seem different each time, but we feel it's you". I have received such feedback many times. "No" means it will still change; we are too young, I'm not even thirty yet — of course my creation will change; I am still experimenting. I don't actually pursue defining a personal signature; I even somewhat reject it, want to maintain distance, and I don't like repetition.

Luo: I don't know if this is a norm in the art market — that artists need a high recognizability, so that people know it's you at a glance. Of course, on one hand this path can be narrow, but on the other hand, it can amplify individuality, becoming a unique mark.

Jin: I don't really like it. I think, first of all, I want to make new things each time; I don't want to stick with something and repeat it constantly. I want to try many different things.

Luo: Just like your friends say each exhibition is different, but they all feel it's you. Which aspects do you think they mean by "it's you"?

Jin: That is a very good question. The real method of creation — for example, the gesture of assemblage has always existed, and the ready-made objects too, but each time it is different. What I did at Galerie Mennour is different from this. I think the context is different, and it has a big influence.
