CD3 Project is a London-based art initiative founded by @nicolas_tian (aka. 𝓝𝓲𝓬𝓸𝓵𝓮), @boihugo (aka. 𝓗𝓪𝓷𝓪) and @zouwillian (aka. 𝓩𝓸𝓮).
Rooted in friendship and care, the project develops through collective explorations of queer experiences. Working experimentally across print, photography, writing, performance, video, and installation, CD3 Project approaches shared practice as a site of intimacy and connection, and as a performative playground for desires and longings.

Before the internet is fully consumed by algorithmic feeds and AI-generated imagery, this project becomes a more tactile act: archiving, editing, and materialising my Tumblr memory.
It reflects a kind of chronic resistance, a quiet helplessness in the face of the new. Do we really need to produce more images?
In these scattered collections, there is a recurring thread. While editing, I often find myself fixated on a pair of socks, a uniform, a pose. Desire begins to unfold from the screen.
These images shaped my sense of beauty. They influenced my work, even the people I dated.
What you see here is real. The stories behind these archived images happened. They remain anonymous, but you don’t question their truth.
Guide Book 0.936 (GB) was made in a period when my friends and I, living in Shanghai at that time, were yearning to move to Europe. It includes all 378 photos I took from a 17-day trip revisiting London. The subjects range from random hot men on the street, to quiet acts of care, to coded fashion choices and Grindr conversations.
Repeated images are intentionally left in and interwoven with texts that aren’t captions or commentary, but visual objects themselves—moments of queer attention and inner monologue, appearing deliberately out of sync with the photos, like glances remembered later, or thoughts that arrive before the image does.
It was an attempt to document queer desire and melancholy as shaped by global experience, contemporary mobility and displacement, and the idea of longing and fantasy.
