Yang Guangnan is a multimedia installation artist. Her work, which embraces sculpture, video and technological devices, investigates daily human experiences and behaviours. Under their casual and spontaneous appearances, her installations address notions of privacy, affects, perception and consciousness in relation to social, economic and political structures. Yang reflects on the codes and rules that determine the shaping of contemporary societies and, inevitably, the life and experience of all individuals.
Read MoreObserving and investigating the mutations of modern Chinese society from a personal perspective and on a cultural and political scale, Yuan Guagnan has produced an acute and critical body of work that questions the nature of one's agency and resilience. Particularly interested in architecture, urbanism and design, she examines essential and defining notions of influence, style and value and how they define and impact collective experience and memory.
