When we talk about the duality of the Yin and the Yang, we refer not only to the attraction and repulsion of opposites but a whole philosophy and religion from China called Taoism. The Tao, Wu-wei, Fu, Ch’i, Acupuncture, Feng Shui and several martial arts define this wisdom taught by Lao Tseu centuries ago. We take this exceptional exhibition in Paris, ‘The way of the Tao, another path to being’, which brings together 250 works and unedited pieces, to open the doors of the Eastern spirit.
The Tao is emptiness, absence and the source of all existence. It is also the road, route, or the way. It is expressed in nature, thus, to enter into connection with it, you have to be in harmony with Mother Earth. Its symbol is the Taijitu known as the Yin and Yang, the feminine and masculine, the possible and real. This discipline is primarily focused on the individual, in his spiritual life and consciousness. It is also said that its roots have to do with shamanism - a practice that is becoming increasingly appealing to Westerners.
