YAO-DONG
Yulin, the destination of our journey, a small town on the northwestern border of ancient China. It is located on the edge of the desert, creating windy climates and unique geographical landscapes. All ancient traces like the Great Wall, old villages, and temples are gradually being erased and replaced by modern civilisation. We were delighted to find many abandoned Yao-Dongs: deconstructed ancient dwellings, and people living in hollowed braes. Its sentimental value also made us contemplate about what we observed and experienced on this journey. Our works reflect upon those findings, but it doesn't stop from there.
*I'm a slideshow!
This exhibition centers our focus on the constructions of a Yao Dong. We divide into our respective themes and exhibit the works in different "rooms" of the Yao-Dong, aiming to study, understand, and explore human civilisation in a certain way, combining our own artistic language and practices to further elaborate.
Click on the button below to enter different "rooms" or select the room catalog at the upper right corner to view the works. After viewing one room, at the end of each page, there's also a "next random room" button for you to be able to access.
