After years working as a press photographer, Luo Dan traveled across China from east to west, photographing people and landscapes. From 2010 to 2012, he lived in a remote valley in Yunnan within a community whose way of life has remained almost unchanged for a hundred years, and revived a forgotten photographic process: wet plate collodion.

Considered one of China's greatest directors, Jia Zhangke develops a cinema rooted in the realities of contemporary China. Doors exhibited excerpts from his films set in the Three Gorges region to explore the filmmaker's connection to the Chinese landscape.

Between 2007 and 2009, Liu Ke carried out the solo project "Still Lake", retracing his paternal family’s roots in the Three Gorges region, which was flooded following the construction in 1994 of the world’s largest hydroelectric dam.

Taca Sui’s works resonate with the elliptical nature of the poems: his images seem to remain suspended, caught in a strange sense of waiting.

Trained from an early age in calligraphy and traditional ink painting, Yang Yongliang set out from the beginning of his career to connect classical art with contemporary art. Yang combines photography and new media techniques to construct landscapes that appear natural and evoke traditional shanshui painting (“mountain and water” landscapes), but which in reality depict the effects of urban development in China.

Born in New York, Michael Cherney has lived in Beijing since 1991. His photographic work is rooted in the Chinese aesthetic tradition of landscape representation.
