PLANETARY
CONDITIONS

From 5 to 10 May 2026, Planetary Conditions will be presented at LumiNoir ART, London, as a cross-disciplinary exhibition examining the entangled relationship between humans and the natural world under accelerating ecological instability.

​

The exhibition views the landscape as a self-operating system. The terrain structure, water flow, and industrial structure in the image are no longer viewed as objects but present their own independent temporal rhythms and evolutionary logic. In the deep process of change, disorder is no longer just a catastrophic rupture, but a driving force for continuous generation and reorganisation within the system.

​

Yang Jingchao's new solo exhibition series "When the Ecology Collapses" starts with extreme ecological events such as forest fires, coral bleaching, floods, and droughts, and constructs a multidimensional immersive narrative space. The series consists of four sets of single channel videos, translating ecological imbalance into symbolic visual and acoustic expressions.

​

In his works, the moving images generate a sustained tension, presenting the complex and intertwined causal relationship between human behaviour and natural systems, and further exploring the resilience, transformation ability, and regenerative potential exhibited by these systems in the context of ecological crisis.

About Artist

​

Jingchao Yang is an artist utilising moving images, digital media and spatialised sound as his primary creative languages. His practice explores the evolving relationship between technology, industrial landscapes and ecological environments. Through the interweaving of image capture, digital reconstruction and environmental soundscapes, Yang constructs a visual context that bridges the real and the simulated. Within his works, rivers, geological formations, industrial installations, and altered natural environments frequently emerge as pivotal threads. These elements are both tangible manifestations of the physical world and symbols of the ongoing interaction between human civilisation and the Earth's ecosystems.
