Images and presentation
Inside and Outside a Vehicle extends across four image pages in the portfolio. One image compresses roads, vehicles and buildings into repeated horizontal rows. Another sets night-time architecture alongside silhouettes of pedestrians. Elsewhere, regular window-like cells hold buses, roads and trees. Recognizable urban fragments recur without resolving into one continuous panorama.
The images can be compared through their different arrangements: some emphasize lateral extension, others retain the boundaries of individual frames, and colour alternates with monochrome. The portfolio gives no individual titles for the four images. Its title page records a light-box work measuring 512 × 217 mm, dated December 2009. All four images remain grouped under that title here.

Inside and Outside a Vehicle places roads and vehicles in repeated rows; Time Canyon proposes narrative through bodily passages. Both handle passage and segmentation, but photographic records and an imagined experience are different kinds of evidence.

How a record becomes material again
Inside and Outside a VehicleRomance Theatre
Inside and Outside a Vehicle reorders city fragments; Liang Yin’s Romance Theatre proposal feeds records of interactions back into a script. One changes photographic positions; the other must also face participants’ willingness to continue relating.
