Project introduction

Su Wenxiang and Tang Xin

From historical images and physical myths to dust, Wang Yuyang’s early work repeatedly questioned the ontology of things. This project introduced Picture and Character and Speak, beginning with translation between language and image and with media recording itself, allowing image and recording to become their own monuments.
