Description
From mountainous Tibetan inland to coastal fishing village in the Southeast, people have reshaped nature for food and created unintentional landscapes of culture and tradition. In the Chinese vernacular landscape series “Water and Earth”, the rhythm and beauty in water and earth transformed by people were captured from new perspectives.
With his camera and drone, Cheng travelled all around to witness these stories of lives in different parts of the continent and make pictures of vernacular wonders of tea and rice terraces, puzzles of salt fields and the like. The selection of images reveals the picturesque sceneries behind what we consume day-to-day, such as rice, tea, wheat, fish, oil and salt. As a fine art photographer with architect’s eyes, Cheng is always in search of order and rhythm in everything. His works are celebrated for their unconventional geometries and patterns that are reminiscent of ink paintings according to Guardian, as well as the affluent colours and textures that illuminate the most surreal terrains on earth.
