Seriously, I think there are different classes in being silly.
In those silly days, a lot of silly things have been done by a gang of silly, turbulent rebels. Play, instead of fighting, is our way to combat, as we revolt to express our immortal youth. We climb trees and dance atop; we roam in the streets and sing in the night. And then we have a wrestling–without hitting the face– right in front of the Ruins of St. Paul’s...
In darkness, I use the Magnesium light to penetrate into the people, filter through the air, and the light instantly oozes the whole space, its warmth wrapping us all – no one can escape.
All these are as if a movie, permanently on. This is absolutely a high class silly thing. There are plenty of moments in life for us to enjoy being silly. That is our attitude towards an unfailing youth. Those who do not understand are truly silly billy.
Ao Ieong Weng Fong (Ouyang Yongfeng) was born in Macao in 1984. In his childhood, the weird relationships in his dysfunctional family made him develop a rebellious and distrustful personality, marked by loneliness.
Upon completing his high school, Ao Ieong left Macao for Taiwan, where he studied entomology. During his university years, he became passionate about photographing and filming. Influenced by Japanese cult movies and novels, he invested 200 Taiwan dollars on making an experimental short film, The Mutation, which won the Jury's Commendation Award at the Macao International Film and Video Festival 2008 – Macao Indies. Earlier, he produced an album, The Girl's Coin Camera, which was selected as Work of Excellence at the Epson Color Imaging Contest 2006 in Japan.
After graduation, he entered the Department And Graduate School of Visual Communication Design at National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (NYUST). In 2009, he self-funded the production of an album and a film, both titled Think in Sick, which won an award of Best Visual Production. While writing his thesis, he briefly returned to Macao to film the local movie Love in The City.
In 2011, the artist decided to return to Macao, and has since been making a living by shooting commercials while exploring the infinity of life and images. Today, Ao Ieong enjoys hobbies such as collecting antiques, listening to indie bands, drinking, and discovering silly and yet happy new things.
