HOHObase is proud to present Oscillations, bringing together the work of Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi Rinpoche and Yao Jui-Chung for the very first time. The exhibition comprises thirty-five photographs from the artists' long-term spiritual and pictorial inquiries that traverse our living world and our inner nature.

Venerable Tenzin's Solivagant encompasses portrait, landscape, still life, and nature photography from around the world. These "photographic essays" were exhibited in 2024 at ARTitude Galería in Singapore, and at the Press Club in Hanoi. The title of the work comes from the Latin meaning "one who wanders alone," and the images reveal this essence of solitude in movement.

Yao's Incarnation documents, on black-and-white film, hundreds of gigantic statues of gods across Taiwan. This series was exhibited at TKG+ (2017), Shanghai Biennale (2018), Taipei Biennial (2020), and the National Center of Photography and Images (2025), and it won the Taishin Arts Award in 2018. The English title refers to the embodiment of our self-image in these deities, while the Chinese title (literally, 'Giant God Connection') conceives of them as an island-wide spiritual network. The contrast between these photographs by Venerable Tenzin and Yao Jui-Chung reveal a shared understanding. Their divergent paths have brought them, momentarily, to thevery same time and place.

A special ceremony for the exhibition will be held at HOHObase on Wednesday, May 14, 2025 at 2:30pm with the Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi Rinpoche and Yao Jui-Chung in attendance.

We kindly welcome you to visit.

The Venerable Tenzin Priyadarshi Rinpoche is the Founding President and CEO of the Dalai Lama Center for Ethics and Transformative Values at the Massachusetts Instituteof Technology (MIT).
