While traveling along the Yellow River, Zhang Kechun is not interested in travel photography or in celebrating the ‘‘ River Mother of Chinese civilization’’. Instead, he has produced soft images with a large format camera, to evoke the excesses of nature compared with almost microscopic human beings, always lost in the immensity –whether they are near an abandoned head of Buddha, or in front of monumental constructions. He also brings our attention to the pollution problems of the great river and the regions through which it passes. Throughout thousands of miles of this photographic journey, human being, too destructive, is not far from disappearing.
