What Does a Special Effects Artist Do?
Yang Fudong is one of the most internationally-recognized video artists in contemporary China. His works are beautiful and sad. The connection between classical literary temperament and modern scenes blurs the sense of history and reality, broadens the way of video narration, and reflects a new generation of young Intellectuals' sense of compromise, confusion, and powerlessness between a rich material life and an increasingly deprived spiritual world also implies the helplessness of traditional Chinese culture trampled by the tide of modernization. The Strange Paradise, which participated in the Kassel Document Exhibition in 2002, made it famous in the international art world. The subsequent Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest (Seven Parts) has become a classic in the history of local video art. [1]

At home and abroad, art critics regard his video works as the spiritual portrayal of young Chinese intellectuals in the new century.

- Solo exhibition will show the richness of Yang Fudong's creation
- "The Fog of Faith" is the theme of Yang Fudong's solo exhibition and one of his works on display. Yang Fudong has a dual understanding of this theme: "faith" on the one hand represents the meaning of "belief", and on the other hand it implies "snake believer"-a poisonous substance. The "fog" of "Mist of Faith" reinforces the uncertainty of this atmosphere. When asked what Yang Fudong's theme meant to him, he smiled slyly, saying "it's something inside, but I can clearly understand it."

In this work, each film is set up with a scene, and each scene is composed of repeated shots, some of which are The camera was considered "good" and many were "bad", all of which were edited together in the movie. General's Smile is a large video installation. After a luxurious dinner, all the dreams and passions of a "general" near the end of his life were like the smile reflected on the stage before the curtain, echoing for a long time. "Qing · Kirin II" is a continuation of the previous work "Qing · Kirin One" created by the artist. It also records those scenes about the living situation, but this time the artist will use a large number of slides to create a "picture" the film". The three large-scale works will show the richness of Yang Fudong's creations in different contents and forms.
