What happens

Zhou Chengzhou (周承舟; born 28 December 1982) is a Chinese film director, artist, and photographer. He has long given attention to problems relating to the mental and spiritual well-being of individuals and has focused his research and professional activities on such illnesses. Zhou Chengzhou's artistic theory likewise revolves around the concepts of industry, urbanization, and marginalization. Zhou's work as an artist, filmmaker, and writer depicts alienation – between people, places, and a "broader and homogenized culture." (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
