The sense of a space is understood and recognized by the existence of objects, and architecture in relation to it. Commonly speaking, the most basic concept of a room consists of four walls, a roof and a floor area - in the structure of a box. The six surfaces of a box contain spaces of various volumes, and the various objects placed inside enrich and characterize the space. Nevertheless, the concept of the space remains abstract. If one were to unfold the six surfaces of a space along with the objects inside – like an opened up box, does the space enclosed still exist? What is the relationship among the space, the surfaces forming it, and the objects inside? Ma Qiusha’s work took the photographic approach to expand visually in discussing spatial formation, its relationship with its interior and exterior, visually telling different stories happened in different spaces.
