中国摄影艺术家荣荣与日本摄影艺术家映里是当代摄影艺术的重要代表人物。作为颇具传奇色彩的艺术家伉俪,他们自2000年开始合作,曾经创作过“富士山”、“我们在这儿”、“六里屯”等一系列深受国际学术界瞩目的作品。他们的作品是对从死亡和废墟到重生和超越的视觉叙事的充满诗意的沉思。人与生存环境、人与自然的关系是他们经常关注的主题。同时,荣荣映里的摄影作品执着于对传统手工照片和暗房技术的探索,赋予传统黑白摄影以一种常人难企的高度和创造力。2007年初夏,荣荣和映里创办了作为国内新生事物的三影堂摄影艺术中心。2008年初夏,荣荣和映里又将迎来一个新生命。于是,生命将成为此次荣荣映里新作展的主题。他们将以一种充满激情、感恩、诗意和美的方式,思考解构与建构,探索生命之环中的重生主题。

Renowned photographers RongRong (China) and inri (Japan) have been working together since 2000. Their works reflect the intimate world that they have created together, while pushing the boundaries of traditional black-and-white darkroom techniques. Their past critically acclaimed series of works, such as Mt. Fuji, In Nature, and Liulitun, focus on the beauty of the human being in nature and the urban environment.
In the 2007, RongRong and inri established the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre, bringing to life a dynamic new home for artists by artists. This summer, they will be welcoming a new life into their family. RongRong and inri's recent works are intricately tied to the development of the centre, and the relationship between destruction, reconstruction, and the rebirth of life that emerges from this cycle.
