This exhibition is a trans-boundary cooperation with contributions from Hao Lei known as the Queen of Chinese artistic films and Wei Bing, one of the founders of the well-known photographic brand “Black Ice” as well as an outstanding fashion photographer.

It comprises of 26 photographs and a documentary shot in India and Nepal which spans from May 30th to June 14th, 2010. In the daytime temperature of up to fifty degrees, they walked on the same path as where Buddha preached and entered the realm of Nirvana. Abandoning the original experience of photography, they make each shot lose the pleasure of inertia and try to decide the moments of the indistinct and the uncertain, thus their creations turn out to be images without the need to find bright highlights.
