When wounds shed into renewal, the snake slips out of its skin—
not to become, but to return to essence.
Cold-blooded yet soft, dangerous yet fragile,
truth surfaces in the act of being seen, needing no defense.

GUVEX is an experiment in seeing and being seen,
where memory and form continuously shift along blurred sensory edges—
unnamed, and unnamable.
We are all in motion, slowly transforming into something unspeakable.

Grateful to @ian.wu0607 for the throughout,
for helping this metamorphosis take shape,
like a silent light revealing the cracks where change begins.

《Untamed Vessel 》

Untamed Vessel explores the gradual distortion of consciousness under prolonged isolation, repression, and self observation. Within the project, darkness is not treated as something purely negative, but as a psychological and spiritual space. It becomes a form of shelter, a temporary state where one can detach from social expectations, identity, and emotional order. When external perception begins to conflict with inner desire, fractures emerge within the self, and it is often within those fractures that a more truthful existence is revealed.
The series revolves around the question of whether the body still belongs to the self after being continuously shaped, observed, and consumed through trauma, relationships, and emotional experience. The figures within the work are not intended to function as literal characters, but rather as projections of unstable psychological states, suspended between fragility and danger, purity and corruption. They resist disappearance while simultaneously longing to dissolve into darkness.
Influenced by existential philosophy, and dream psychology, the project transforms alienation into something almost sacred. As memory, emotion, and physical identity begin to collapse, what remains may be the most untamed and authentic part of consciousness. Rather than portraying destruction, the work becomes a meditation on existence itself.

THE BODY AS EVIDENCE

@obtuse______archive

Photographer Juan Chen ( @ju4nchen ) and curator and cofounder of the platform Moco Chen ( @creepymoco ) begin from a tension between the body, the image, and the act of being seen.

John Berger suggested that seeing is never a neutral act. The way we perceive the world is shaped by culture, power, desire, and the media through which images circulate. In contemporary visual culture, seeing is no longer simply an act of looking. It has become a mechanism through which reality is reconstructed.

Spiritual alienation has never looked so familiar. When a person is continuously subjected to the gaze, aesthetic judgment, and commodification, their inner self begins to be recoded by an external image system. The viewer believes they are looking at a person. What they are actually seeing is a post-human surface; shaped collectively by media, desire, fashion, and us.
A photography project about the cost of being looked at, and what survives the image.

Spiritual alienation has never looked so familiar. When a person is continuously subjected to the gaze, aesthetic judgment, and commodification, their inner self begins to be recoded by an external image system. The viewer believes they are looking at a person. What they are actually seeing is a post-human surface; shaped collectively by media, desire, fashion, and us.
A photography project about the cost of being looked at, and what survives the image.

THE BODY AS EVIDENCE

@obtuse______archive

Photographer Juan Chen ( @ju4nchen ) and curator and cofounder of the platform Moco Chen ( @creepymoco ) begin from a tension between the body, the image, and the act of being seen.

John Berger suggested that seeing is never a neutral act. The way we perceive the world is shaped by culture, power, desire, and the media through which images circulate. In contemporary visual culture, seeing is no longer simply an act of looking. It has become a mechanism through which reality is reconstructed.

I stood at the edge of that moment.

The sounds of war had not yet fully faded;
the air still carried a victory that felt almost too easy.
They said justice had been fulfilled—
but what I saw was not an ending,
it was the beginning of a deeper fracture.

She was named Imago.
A being pulled from the Abyssus—defined, and pierced.

They said—
“Evil needs no explanation. It only needs to be destroyed.”

But the moment I saw her,
I began to doubt.

At first, she was light.
Like a signal not yet understood,
moving and flickering within the light.
They called it vitality.

Until the surface began to rupture—
sweetness turning, texture thickening,
no longer just beauty,
but something in the process of becoming.

I realized—
this was not judgment.
This was evolution.

She chose the most direct, and most brutal way to exist.
That red was not an invasion—
it was the shape of her final breath.

Misaligned, distorted—
yet undeniably real.

When the Order pierced through her,
they believed it was the end.

But I knew—
it was only the moment she was first seen by the world.

But I knew—
it was only the moment she was first seen by the world.

I stood at the edge of that moment.

The sounds of war had not yet fully faded;
the air still carried a victory that felt almost too easy.
They said justice had been fulfilled—
but what I saw was not an ending,
it was the beginning of a deeper fracture.

She was named Imago.
A being pulled from the Abyssus—defined, and pierced.

They said—
“Evil needs no explanation. It only needs to be destroyed.”

But the moment I saw her,
I began to doubt.

At first, she was light.
Like a signal not yet understood,
moving and flickering within the light.
They called it vitality.

Until the surface began to rupture—
sweetness turning, texture thickening,
no longer just beauty,
but something in the process of becoming.

I realized—
this was not judgment.
This was evolution.

She chose the most direct, and most brutal way to exist.
That red was not an invasion—
it was the shape of her final breath.

Misaligned, distorted—
yet undeniably real.

When the Order pierced through her,
they believed it was the end.

But I knew—
it was only the moment she was first seen by the world.

If red light is a form of divine catastrophe,
then in bathing within its warning glow,
what is revealed is not so much truth
as a response no longer contained by language.

God does not appear.
The world continues to shift.
Yet people persist in believing
they are being watched, being tended to.

That belief itself becomes the center of the light.
