Curated by Ma Yansong, the exhibition challenges contemporary views that reduce nature to mere resources or technological modifications. Instead, it revives the worldview of harmony, where nature is an extension of human spirit and imagination.
Amidst the transition from industrial civilization to the intelligent era, the exhibition questions how technology and capital have distanced us from nature, even under the guise of sustainability. It seeks to restore an emotional connection between man and the natural world, revealing its inherent wisdom, emotions, and life, even in an era of rapid technological advancement.
