Mu Chum is an independent publisher, photographer and artist based in Nanjing, Hefei and LA. His works are often drawn from life, and digging out the inner life from the simple things. He insists that works should be out of the feelings of the heart. If we only pay attention to form and decoration, then the body is an only empty shell. He holds against to the void under over-design. External appearance and social environment can only express the language of certain periods and space. The only way to truly express is to take off pretense. In his society, there is still a lot of controversy about nude photography. He insists: “Whether nude photography is erotic or artistic depends on the viewer’s mindset.

If a man’s heart is pure, he can feel the beauty of art from the nude body; if a man’s heart is full of desire, even if the character is clothed, he is full of evil.” Through film, photography, writing, performance, Installation, and other artistic expressions, he explores the spiritual pursuit of freedom, and repeatedly advocates the concern and protection of the Gay community. When photography fails to express his feelings, through the silent words, he seeks out people who feel the same way with him.

"Erotic play discloses a nameless world which is revealed by the nocturnal language of lovers. Such language is not written down. It is whispered into the ear at night in a hoarse voice. At dawn it is forgotten."
