Xin Yunpeng, No Problem

Xin Yunpeng satirizes power relations and received behaviors, often by diligently resetting rules and regulations. The installation No Problem consists of a mechanical bull—like those found at carnivals—that has been modified to deflate the moment participants choose to ride it, returning to normal as soon as the rider is gone. In this way, Xin Yunpeng creates an opposition that is never actually realized.
