What's on
Natural wonders
The lens of Huang Chengjiang captures the grandeur of nature, such as the fertile black soil in Beidahuang in Northeast China and the vast forest of populus diversifolia that thrive on the Gobi Desert. He also zooms in on the inconspicuous corners of the world in which small pieces of nature, such as a lotus flower or a dove, persist in a quiet but impressive manner. Infinity in Oneness, now running at the Tsinghua University Art Museum through Nov 7, shows more than 100 photos broken down into four themes: the planet, tree, lotus and cape, and looks back at Huang's endeavors through the decades. Huang, who hails from Heilongjiang province, became interested in photography at age 19. His early snapshots present the vast landscapes of the north. After moving to Beijing in the 1980s, he traveled more and broadened his vision, adding romantic and humanistic perspectives to his works in which he contemplates the meaning of life.
