Yang Jian, Sooner or Later, Lightning Will Strike Us All

Yang Jian’s work gives voice to a theatrical sense of humor, casting a backward glance at modern systems which, once rational, now seem ossified. Sooner or Later, Lightning Will Strike Us All is an exploration of power and the people it restrains; the disorder and chaos it reveals hint at an unavoidable negativity emerging from immediate consumption.

This artwork was featured in the UCCA exhibition "ON | OFF: China’s Young Artists in Concept and Practice, ” 2013
