Yutian Li is a firm believer that colour should play a very large role in photographic images. Unfortunately, most of the colours in photographs are just a reproduction of reality or they are toned down by post-production software to please a bored aesthetic. In homage to Antoine D'Agata's masterpiece, I'm Starting to Feel the Pain, the book follows the route taken by a thermal imaging camera in 2022 (in part of Billingsgate Market, London). Based on the unique imaging characteristics of thermal imaging cameras, colour is given meaning. Yutian Li hopes to explore the relationship between humans and animals, and the meaning of life and death. He wants to present the dichotomy between death and life, and the unconscious violence of the human as subject against the object (other human or non-human) through these images with their contrasting colours. At the end of this journey, Yutian Li learns one thing: when fish are animals, he feels sorry for their misfortune; when they are food, he also finds them delicious.
