Wind and the Practitioners representative project image — Representative image from Wind and the Practitioners. It uses the encounter between people and open environments to show wind, distance and bodily posture.

Project Overview

This series places people in broader, more open natural and wilderness environments. The focus is not the portrait itself, but how a person appears within wind, terrain and distance.

For external readers, Wind and the Practitioners shows that Liu Xiang's work is not limited to family or social documentary. He also organizes relationships between people and space in more open, fluid environments.
