Shanghai-based artist Maleonn spent eight months traveling 35 cities in 25 Chinese provinces last year, photographing over a thousand of ordinary people for free in a mobile photo studio and posting the images on his Weibo account. Now he has become an Internet hit either home or aboard.
去年，上海艺术家马良花8个月的时间走遍了全国25个省份的35个城市，在他的移动照相馆里给一千多名一般人免费拍照，并将照片发布在微博上。现在，他已经成为了国内外的互联网红人。
Maleonn took photos for around 1,600 people who were dressed in unusual fancy dress and surrounded by strange props of all shapes and sizes, with subjects ranging from tank drivers and policemen to Tang Dynasty scholars. “I dont know what the point of this is, or what will happen next, I just know I made 1,600 people very happy,” he says.
马良先后为大约1600人拍摄了照片，照片中的人穿着奇装异服，身边满是各式各样的奇怪道具，其拍摄主题有坦克驾驶员、警察和唐代学者等。他说：“我不了解这么做有哪些意义和影响，只了解我让这1600人非常高兴。”
There are many bizarre photos in his collection. For example, a photograph features two “people in horse heads”, a “suicidal” clown and a beautiful young lady.
马良的作品中有很多奇奇怪怪的照片。比如，一张照片拍的是两个“马头人”、一个“自杀的”小丑和一个好看的年轻女子。
Maleonn launched the project of the mobile studio after losing his studio in an arts community in Shanghai, following a government eviction of artists. He said, “I became tired of contemporary art, the system, dealing with critics and curators behind closed doors. I wanted to do something with ordinary people.”
马良以前的工作室坐落于上海的一个艺术社区，后来政府将那里的艺术家赶了出来，于是他便发起了移动照相馆活动。他说：“我厌倦了当代艺术和体制，那需要暗地里与评论家和策展人交际。我想创作一些关于一般人的艺术。”
He put out the idea on his Weibo account, and was overwhelmed by the response. Then he spent seven months preparing for the project, including painting the sets and backgrounds, preparing cosplaytumes, producing the props, purchasing a truck and arranging locations. Eventually, he established a set of guidelines.
他在微博上写下我们的想法后收到了很大的反响。接着，他花了7个月的时间准备这次活动，其中包含给布景刷上油漆、筹备服装、制造道具、买卡车和安排地址，最后确立了一系列策略。
Having completed his travels around China, Maleonn spoke of the possibility of taking the mobile studio project to Britain.
在完成国内的旅游后，马良说到他或有可能在英国举办移动照相馆活动。
