Entropy Enclave

  • Photographer
    Guanxi Shen

"Entropy Enclave" is inspired by concepts from the photographer's dual academic backgrounds. In information theory, "Entropy" signifies uncertainty and randomness, it is a measure of the state of disorder. More uncertainty or randomness leads to more surprisingness and thus yields more information. "Enclave", in Political Science, depicts an isolated territory entirely encapsulated by another. This pairing illuminates contrasting realms of order and chaos, paralleling the essence of photographing: the pursuit of capturing ephemeral, unpredictable moments within the confines of a chosen frame.
