China has fascinated Europe for centuries with its culture, philosophy, and social systems, so different from our own. Yet its most essential concept remains little known: transformation. This posits that life—of which death is only one aspect—is translated by incessant change. This cycle invites us on an excursion through the multiple representations of this idea—as many images attempting to give form to that which, precisely, has no lasting form.
