The Land Between Us by Ning Kai (甯凯) & Sabrina Scarpa. Photography. 2015-now.
Ning Kai (1987, China) and Sabrina Scarpa (1991, The Netherlands) have been working together since 2015. They have launched their career as a photographic duo with The Land Between Us, a growing body of work which they describe as their “united journey”. Partners in work and in life, they delve into the unknown corners of the natural world, finding moments of revelation, equality and intimacy within thinly populated areas and untouched wilderness. They wish to surround themselves by places that bring out the core of humanity, to aim for a state of being in which the boundary between their cultures and backgrounds seems to blur.
In order to remove borders, they seek out diverse places, from east to west. The works they “dropped” along their journey mark their footsteps towards the poetic and harmonious world they wish to create together: the timeless myth of earthly paradise.

Letters from a Distance by Peng Wei. 2013. Exhibited in Tina Keng Gallery, Taipei, Taiwan.
Currently based in Beijing, Peng was born in 1974 in Chengdu, China. She graduated from the Department of Eastern Culture and Art at the Nankai University with a BFA in Literature and an MFA in Philosophy. She created her first series, Stone, in 2000.

Letters from a Distance, for which she was awarded the Signature Art Prize 2014 at the Singapore Art Museum, incorporates the letters of Western authors and artists. These substitute the traditional inscriptions found on classical Chinese paintings - Peng combines and alters traditional and contemporary materials, cultivating an intersection of culture that is nevertheless close to the heart.

櫻花落盡階前月 象床愁倚薰籠 遠似去年今日恨還同 雙鬟不整雲憔悴 淚沾紅抹胸 何處相思苦 紗窗醉夢中 Beneath the moon, before the steps, all cherry blossom has fallen, Enwreathed in smoke, she looks sorrowful lying in bed. She feels the same regret today as one long year ago. Both braids like cloud in disarray, her face is wan and sallow, The crimson corset wet from wiping tears. But what's the reason why she suffers so? She lies in a drunken dream before the window.
Cherry Blossom Completely Falls Before the Steps Under the Moon (櫻花落盡階前月) by Li Yu (李煜). Tang Dynasty. Translated by Mark Alexander.
Li Yu was the last emperor of the Southern Tang state before the invasion of the Song Dynasty armies. He was seen as a representative poet of his era, and was named as one of the first developers of the Ci poetry form. While Ci poetry is typically associated with Song Dynasty poetry, Li Yu is not categorized as a Song poet. Li Yu represents both the continuation of traditional Tang poetry and Song Dynasty style Ci poetry. Inspired by love, philosophy and history, Li’s works dwell on memories of pleasure, and later, the regrets of his lost kingdom. His stories still remain popular in Cantonese operas today.
