Luci d’alta quota. Lettera di un amore di quarant’anni su pellicola is a solo exhibition by photographer Zhang Chaoyin, a leading figure in contemporary landscape and documentary photography in Asia.
Produced in collaboration with Aria Art Gallery and with the support of Manifattura Tabacchi, the exhibition brings together around 60 works created over four decades of explorations across plateaus, glaciers, geological formations and human communities. The exhibition unfolds as a dialogue between humans and landscape, time and memory, light and matter, offering a reflection on the relationship between environment and aesthetic perception.
For over forty years, Zhang Chaoyin has conducted a systematic research project across the Himalayan region, shaping a visual and cultural atlas of what is often referred to as the planet’s “Third Pole.” His work, grounded in the rigorous use of analog film and platinum-palladium printing, combines documentary precision with poetic depth, turning the photographic image into a tool for knowledge.
