Yutao Gao - Light in Night
黑夜给了我黑色的眼睛
我却用它寻找光明 顾城

Even with these dark eyes, a gift of the dark night
I go seek the shining light. Gu Cheng

With this series, Gao wanted to show that everything has its own soul. The night is a medium for the past to release its soul into the world, says the artist. The light is a red thread through the photos bringing life to the scenery. Gao sees his work as a conversation with life, reducing every element back to its very essence. He want a stone to go back to being a stone, and a tree go back to a tree. Purity and mystery are the major themes.
