2021所有动作都应杀死风
Wang Yuyan
A man, that animal which shapes its environment, which also shapes its brain. A fog, a bit harder than the air – the dust of stones. A hexagonal structure, like a monolith of which one dare not ask questions. Two hundred kilometres from Beijing I found a sculpture factory where men lived amidst rocks that were waiting to be broken, cut, polished. The same gestures come back again and again to write a history of deterioration and repair. This history is obliterated in the making of monuments. With the wind that inexorably scatters the traces of these actions.

One Thousand and One Attempts to Be an Ocean
Wang Yuyan
One Thousand and One Attempts to Be an Ocean reflects on the experience of not being able to see the world with depth perception. Made up of micro-events from "satisfying video" that swarm on the internet, the abstract narrative unfolds through an appropriation way by referring to trance and minimal music. It's about a desire for groundless waves, blended with today's inexorable entropy of our information societies.

The devil in the details
Wang Yuyan
As gripping organs, intimately linked to actions, the hands shake, shake, grasp or tear in an infinite round of expressive attitudes extracted from their context. This hypnotic breviary is a reminder that hands cannot remain inert and that they act without the control of the person to whom they belong.
