Solo exhibition
The Moon Landing Project
再造登月
Exhibition introduction
Adapted from the organizer's press releaseWang Yuyang's first solo exhibition in London approaches the moon as both a scientific object and an affective symbol. Its relation to time, tides, rain and seasons connects rational inquiry into the universe with mystical imagination.
The large-scale paintings draw on Michael Light's images of the lunar voyage. Painting through monochrome-filtered glasses separates seeing from colour selection, giving imagery based on lunar records an intense palette that cannot be predicted in advance.
The exhibition also includes the two-screen video installation The Moon Landing Program 4. By bringing the moon landing, image reconstruction and competing claims of authenticity together, it introduces a second thread spanning technological progress, historical records and conspiracy narratives.

The artist observes lunar imagery through monochrome video glasses while choosing from paints whose names are concealed. The split between seeing and using produces an unforeseeable coloured moon.
