    朱捍东1978年出生于江西省湖口县，1997年至今工作生活于北京。自2002年度在"自言自语"美术同盟摄影提名展中亮相以来，陆续参加了 CHINA·青色摄影展、平遥国际摄影大展、宋庄艺术节等摄影与当代艺术展览。朱捍东在观念摄影与装置艺术等艺术领域进行了有益的探索与实践。
"京梦"系列照片表达了作者一直想深入自己内心深处的真实感受，作者很小就对北京有美好的憧憬，其内心深处对北京的憧憬幻化出美丽的想象，象梦境一样与平淡的现实交织在一起。"京梦"中的宫宇呈现出镜中幻象的形态，在这幻想中历史已淡化为乌有，留下的只是一个王朝的幻影，和作者对这幻影的想象。
      "造影"系列照片是朱捍东创作于2006年的具有深刻自省的一组作品，其在影子与潜意识，影与物，欲望与束缚之间寻找着对生活深层的表达，当这些模糊的影像显现在日常生活的背景上，影子在这一刻成为个体潜意识权力意志的表白。
      新作"独白"系列是他用自己血液绘制的影子置放于与其生活相关的不同场景中进行拍摄的，其"独白"系列作品创作最初的想法缘于佛教高僧用自己的血液书写血经，他一直在用影子的形式关注内心潜意识深入的困惑与焦虑，这两种元素的结合，同时其拍摄过程本身的行为性质让这一组具有让人感动和发人深思的作品具有强烈的艺术张力。
     朱捍东的摄影创作一直具备独特的个人气质，因为他在关注自己内 心深处真实的感受。

Zhu Handong, born in 1978 in Hukou County, Jiangxi Province, has been living and working in Beijing since 1997. Since his debut Photography Exhibition 'Self Talking' nominated by Association of Fine Art (AFA) back in 2002, Zhu Handong has consecutively participated in an array of photo and modern art exhibitions, such as China-Blue Photo Show, Pingyao Photo Festival, Song Zhuang Art Festival and etc.  Zhu has also conducted in-depth exploration and experiment in the areas of performance art and installation art.
Beijing Dream series captures the real urge that the author has to reach into his inner heart. Ever since his childhood, the author had a great yearning towards Beijing, and this yearning from inner heart then derived a kind of beautified imagination，like a fusion of dream mixing up with the naked reality.  The mirage in the mirror is presented by the Palace in Beijing Dream, amid this process of imagination, the history has vanished into non-existence, leaving behind a shadow of a Dynasty and author's imagination of this mirage.
Shadow  series was created by Zhu Handong in 2006 charactering self-meditation. Torn between shadow and subconsciousness, shadow and objects, desire and compression, this series seeks to look into deeper layers of life. These blurred images, once projected upon the backdrop of daily life, immediately are transformed into an expression of the will by individual subconsciousness. 
Monologue series is done in such a way that the author shot in varied situations through a piece of glass tinted with his own blood.  The original idea came from the legend that the Buddha's monks were writing scriptures with their own blood. Zhu has been using shadow as a means to demonstrate his confusion and anxiety in his subconsciousness, and the process of this photographic behavior, given these works with strong impact of art, touching and thought-provoking. 
Photographic works by Zhu Handong demonstrate the unique personal character of his own, the character that keeps on searching the real sensation in his innermost world
