The exhibition consists of four units, namely Fashion, Idea, Nature and Digit. 

The Fashion unit shows how creators explain the charm of fashion in various perspectives, which is also an expression of human nature. The Idea unit shows how artists visualize their ideas through editing. It creates a world of surreal dreams and absurdity, reflecting the real world.

As the name suggests, artists in the Nature unit use nature as their inexhaustible inspiration. And the last unit underlines the strength of technology, which is a perfect tool for photographers to expand the real world into aspects such as time, space and physics.
