Work with Kuaishou in 2021 to feature live streamers
The sudden pandemic in 2020 has limited our outdoor activities. People’s daily life and expending habits have changed dramatically during the past two years. We that live in the post-pandemic era tend to know the society through smartphones, thus making short video streaming rooms a pathway to show talent. I intended to shoot a new branch of the <Family Stuff> series, <The Stuff of Live Streamers> by the end of 2021, so I turned to Kuaishou for support. With the help of Kuaishou and days of efforts to get engaged and suited, I have acquired permission from live streamers with great characteristics and shot their ‘stuffs’. These streamers consist of a professor in the university, an actor, a truck driver, grassroots, a bodyguard, a small business owner, a food deliveryman, an intangible cultural handcrafter and a streamer for carrier pigeon matches. Sadly I did not have the chance to cooperate with the other streamer due to the impact of the pandemic. These works provide a perspective to observe the live streaming career. As the development of IT technology gives us broader room and freedom to choose from, streaming rooms become an epitome for Internet changes, personal success, productivity development and expenditure upgrade. Meanwhile, the ‘Fellowship’ which originates from streaming rooms also provides people with spiritual belongings. Our focus on their ‘stuff’ and living tools bear witness to the changes and development of our times.---Qingjun Huang

Work with Taobao in 2015 featuring online shopping
Internet is influencing and changing everybody’s life. Internet sales rose 49.7% in the year 2014, according to Chinese government statistics, in comparison to a 12% rise in all retail sales across the country. January 2015, I asked people to display everything they've ever bought online. I wanted to find people from all directions: east, west, south and north, in big city and in small village. The results are a testament to the overwhelming popularity of online shopping
For people living in remote areas, Internet shopping is a lifeline to the outside world - a way to access a host of products that would never be seen where they live. In some of China's more inaccessible places, delivery crews must sometimes abandon their vans to drop off packages on foot.
My Online Shopping Family Stuff series is a sub-series of my works Family Stuff. I hope to use the same way, a straightforward way, to expose directly how Internet is influencing people’s life in this historical period.
