Mythologies represent the boundless creativity and vivid imaginations of ancient civilizations as they sought to articulate their perceptions of the world and the universe, realms that remained largely enigmatic to them. Through these narratives, contemporary individuals can glimpse into the emotional landscapes of our forebears, draw inspiration, and embark on even grander flights of fancy.

Where Are the Mythologies, an art show at Beijing Today Art Museum until Oct 13, unfolds to the audience a world intertwined by those beautiful imaginations from the past and envisions of the future.

Graphics, video installations and virtual tours assisted by VR devices allow people to feel the extensiveness of the mythological world in the descriptions of ancient Chinese texts. Meanwhile, artists have injected the renewed understanding of the relations between men and nature, cosmos, as technology has expanded human activities to new realms.
