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

The exhibition viewed thelandscape as a self-operating system. The terrain structure, water flow, andindustrial structure in the image were no longer viewed as objects butpresented their own independent temporal rhythms and evolutionary logic. In thedeep process of change, disorder was no longer just a catastrophic rupture, buta driving force for continuous generation and reorganisation within the system.

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

In his works, the moving images generated 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.
