In “The Guesthouse of Cascades”, faint traces lead the readers to a journey that lies between reality and illusion. Departing from a mountain guesthouse that dates back in the 90s, the experience from the past and present entangles, the "beasts" that hides in the crevice slowly appear beyond the images. Every page of the book resembles a slice of time. It forms an entity with a fluid structure through folding/spreading, stacking/isolating and stitching/cutting. From straight photography to photos that are interrupted by simulated materials, and to 3D modeling and animations that use photographs as textures, this book is not merely a presentation of Zhang’s existing works, but a new body of work that is developed from an alchemy of imagery. Just like the cascades in the book title, these images construct the narrative as water shapes cliffs and the shallows.

由90年代的山中招待所出发，循着幽微的线索，张文心邀请读者由《瀑布招待所》开启一段穿行于现实与幻象之间的旅程。过去的记忆与经验贯穿在不明的当下，罅隙中的“巨兽”在图像之外渐渐显形。《瀑布招待所》的每一页都像是时间的切片，通过折叠/展开、覆盖/分离、缝线/切割，形成一个结构流动的整体。从“直接”摄影，到参入虚构元素的照片，再到几乎完全使照片成为素材的三维建模与动画，这本书不是张文心的某一组已完成作品的书面呈现，而是沿着她一直以来创作背后的隐藏路径，在繁杂的图像丛林中进行抓取、提炼之后生成的一个新作品。如同书名中的“瀑布”，这些图像自然地流溢倾斜，形成叙事，形成一道道断崖和浅滩。
