YUAN GOANG-MING

The exhibition includes six works – five videos and one kinetic installation – by Yuan Goang-Ming, a Taiwanese artist considered the forerunner of a new expressive form halfway between cinema and video art, known for using video cameras he himself has made. In Everyday War, Yuan focuses on everyday objects to convey the widespread discomfort caused by a constant feeling of precariousness and by more and more disturbing scenarios of war. Despite the shadows looming over the world, the artist believes in the persistence of an innate desire in humans, which drives them to seek “a realm of freedom, an exclusive place in wild nature, where the essence of an individual can peacefully coexist with immutable freedom.”
