Artist Statement

It is so real

A remote and intimate world

In the dry hot air

Someone sings a soft tone

But it

Stands there quietly

Letting the wind

Take away its past

Things resemble each other

Like in a dream

Push the door softly and walk in

Or just stay standing where you are

Fudong, Yang

Yang Fudong shoots on 35-mm film, and his style recalls the black-and-white films of the 1930s and 1940s, as well as later film noir.
