is one way to describe it,
the
work is by artist Yang
Yongliang who harmonizes human-generated light and naturally glowing
stars in a celestial, 4K video installation, titled “Journey to the Dark II” (2019), all images © Yongliang Yang,
the video installation measures a huge 12 × 70 meters, 12,600 × 2,160 pixels,
“Journey to the Dark II” winds through a mountainous city
that spans 70 meters across, the background music is a technological
soundtrack,
movement
is confined mostly to the cars traveling across bridges and down streets, and
the lights emit a constant glow among the modern architecture and landscapes,
residing in Shanghai and New York, Yang often juxtaposes
modern, industrial life and organic elements to produce dystopian environments
that question human progress. “Ancient Chinese people painted landscapes to
praise the greatness of nature; Yang’s works, on the other hand, lead towards a
critical re-thinking of contemporary reality,” said in a
statement about a similarly foreboding project, to see more the
artist’s digital work and follow his upcoming projects, check out his Instagram and Vimeo, what a stunning sight this installation
must be.
