Peikwen Cheng is a young Chinese photographer, a "footloose" photographer in the words of the journalist Nicolas Jucha. His works from the serie called Lost and Found derive their source in the Burning Man festival in the Black Rock desert of Nevada, hostile and inhospitable landscape in which meet annually fanciful characters who give free rein to achieve their dreams and strange whims. Peikwen Cheng talks about this excess and peculiarity, in his serie of photographies taken between 2000 and 2013, and shows an unreal universe filled with plastic sunflowers, huge rocking horses and with rockets who seem come from a tale. In his startling visions, such as childhood dreams, Peikwen Cheng captures the precise moment when the dream seems to reach reality.
