Der Greif MagazineGuest Room aims to spark collaboration. Dutch, Beijing-based photographer and curator Ruben Lundgren has chosen to collaborate with Yining He, a curator, researcher, and writer focusing on decolonial art practices in contemporary Chinese art. Together, they have developed the following framework for your submissions: "Domestic Miracle".
There is a well-known Chinese poem with the lines, "Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many of them in a row? If all my life I count on tomorrow, everything will end up being idle." It reminds us to cherish each day, live in the present, and not waste precious time waiting for tomorrow. The poem advises those lost in busy lives to value the present moment and avoid procrastination that leads to wasted time. Inspired by this, Ruben Lundgren and Yining He propose the theme "Domestic Miracle", inviting you to explore and depict the often overlooked magical moments in everyday life.
