香港攝影書店「顯影堂」一週年展覽，展出中國著名攝影家楊延康作品《心象》，展期是2026年7月10日至8月15日。這部被譽為當代藏區攝影的里程碑之作，不僅記錄青藏高原的風光與僧俗日常，更深刻呈現人與信仰的關係。
楊延康 (1954-) 是中國少數三十年如一日、專注於宗教信仰題材的攝影家。自1990年代起，他將拍攝天主教、藏傳佛教和伊斯蘭教徒視為某種精神天職，最終完成其「信仰三部曲」。他的鏡頭自覺地摒棄視覺奇觀與異域風情的獵奇視角，轉而溫柔地凝視中國不同信仰者的生命質地。
他鏡頭下的藏地，不是典型壯觀秀麗的風景，而是細膩動人的畫面。楊延康毫不急功近利，為拍攝最真實的畫面，從2003年到2013年，他歷時十年沉潛，多次進入藏區、深入了解當地人的生活，觀察並記錄他們最真實的日常，畫面平靜卻充滿詩意。
在這些年歲裡，楊延康不僅拍攝藏民的生活，更將目光投向僧侶，記錄他們如何在具體的修行中踐行信仰。在他的鏡頭下，僧侶們念誦經文、吹奏法螺、與貓嬉戲、表演藏戲。藏傳佛教那些往往被外界神聖化、甚至感到遙不可及的意象，在這些微小的瞬間變得和煦而可親。
在視覺表現上，楊延康始終堅持嚴謹而精緻的構圖，奠定他作品的視覺語言。然而，這種古典式的嚴謹並未削弱影像的抒情性；相反地，他成功地在僧侶們看似平淡的日常中，捕捉到戲劇張力與內斂的詩意。神聖的光芒透過世俗生活的細節流淌出來，散發著寧靜而深邃的精神氣場，令人動容。
楊延康為這系列作品命名為《心象》，彷彿這些畫面早已存在於他的腦海，只是藉著相機的心靈之眼呈現出來。在這段漫長的旅程中，攝影師早已超越「冷眼旁觀」的紀錄者角色，而是與這片土地建立起深刻的精神連結，並最終成為藏傳佛教的皈依者。
對他而言，攝影是一場從「觀看」走向「感悟」的內省歷程，如同踏上歸鄉之途，他在全然的交付中找到生命的定力。當攝影本身被提升至創作者的個人信仰高度時，按下快門彷彿已成為一種修持。從這個意義上說，這些影像不僅記錄藏地日常，更是一面鏡子，映射出楊延康自身的生命精神與靈魂軌跡。

DEVEDO 1st Anniversary Exhibition – The Reflection of Soul by Yang Yankang
DEVEDO is pleased to present The Reflection of Soul, a solo exhibition by Chinese photographer Yang Yankang, in celebration of the bookshop’s first anniversary, on view from July 10 to August 15, 2026. The exhibition centers on faith as lived and observed among monks and laypeople in the Tibetan regions. Hailed as a milestone in contemporary Tibetan photography, the work documents daily life while also exploring the relationship between people and their beliefs.
Yang Yankang (1954-) is a rare photographer who has devoted himself to photographing religious beliefs. Beginning in the 1990s, he spent thirty years photographing Catholics, Tibetan Buddhists, and Muslims, completing his “Faith Trilogy” as a mission. His lens avoids sensationalism and the exotic, instead recording the lives of believers with different faiths in China.
His photographs are not typical spectacular landscapes but rather delicate and moving images. Without seeking quick success, Yang spent ten years from 2003 to 2013 immersing himself in Tibetan life, repeatedly venturing into the region to experience the local people’s lives, observing and recording their most authentic daily routines. These images are serene yet imbued with poetry.
During the years, Yang not only photographed the lives of Tibetan people but also focused on Buddhist monks, documenting how they live their faith and how they steadfastly uphold their beliefs in practice. Through his lens, monks recite scriptures, play with toy cars, blow the Dharma Conch, play with cats, and perform Tibetan opera. The often unattainable and sacred image of Tibetan Buddhism becomes serene and approachable in these moments.
Yang consistently maintains a rigorous, refined composition that forms the foundation of his visual language. However, this rigor does not detract from the lyricism of his images. On the contrary, he successfully captures visual drama and implicit poetry within the monks’ mundane daily lives. A sacred light shines through the details of everyday life, radiating a serene and profound spiritual aura and evoking a moving sentiment.
The photographer was fully immersed rather than merely an observer and became a follower of Tibetan Buddhism during these years. For him, photography was a continuous process of feeling and understanding, moving from observation to conversion; like a lamb returning home, he found strength in the process.
When photography itself is elevated to the level of the photographer’s personal faith, taking pictures becomes a practice of faith. In this sense, these images can also be read as a reflection of Yang Yankang’s own experiences and life.
