With its jet-black paper and nightly scenes from rural China, 214’s photobook “To Be An Evening Breeze” forms an atmospheric, mysterious homage to the night.

While the photos, taken in the Gui Zhou province, feature eery elements like half-lit figures in the dark of the woods, the moon shining through trees, gloomy corners in villages and fields glowing in the night, reading the book is yet a calming experience. According to 214, the book is meant to relax the body, take its readers away from the city, and “under the guidance of the moon, the body begins to disappear, and we are turned into the Evening Breeze.”
