In A Personal Diary, Xing presents a highly poetic work that evinces her acute ability to inscribe China’s alternative art scene in the 1990s into her own personal narrative. We see the city through an eye disturbed by rapid urban development. It calls artists and their artworks from their studios to the streets, it witnesses the emergence of installation art in public spaces, and it accompanies and connects with performers in private apartments, evincing a strong, sensual closeness to them. The camera is frequently visible in the photographs, and so is Xing herself, as she captures people and events with an unmistakable passion for what is portrayed.

作品“个人日记”系列是一件高度诗性化的作品,它展现了艺术家敏锐的感知能力,在个人化的叙事中讲述了中国90年代非传统艺术的地下实践。透过艺术家不安的视角,我们看到了都市生活的巨变,它令艺术家和其作品走出工作室,来到街头;它见证了装置艺术在公共空间的出现;它陪伴并联结着那些私人空间里的行为艺术家们,传递出一种强烈的情感上的亲密。相机在这些照片中频繁地出现,与此同时,邢丹文自身和她在抓拍人物及事件时对拍摄对象饱含的热情,也同样显现在她的作品里。
