Known for his staged, cinematic photography, the Beijing-based artist constructs atmospheric scenes that feel suspended in fragmented time. Muted and often vacant, his compositions reflect the quiet disquiet of a post-pandemic world. This exhibition also marks the conclusion of his 'New City' series, a more than decade-long exploration of urban aesthetics and the psychological impact of contemporary life.
