明日早朝 Dawn Breaking Yang Fudong, 2018

The idea of the series first conceived while Yang worked on his solo exhibition in Castello di Rivoli Museo d Arte Contemporanea in 2005. After more than a decade, the first episode has been fulfilled this year in Shanghai Long Museum. Yang set the background of Dawn Breaking in Song dynasty which was prominent for achievements in art, culture and science. He also extracted nearly three hundred sentences of Nietzsche s Quotations as the exclusive script. Live performance in the context of ancient oriental history intertwines with the quotes of desire, and power from the German philosopher. A modern interpretation towards the feelings of scholarofficials in Song Dynasty is revealed. Two central filming locations set up inside the museum have involved into more than ten scenes, such as Competing for the Throne, The Deserted Pagoda and The Staircase of Ministers etc. .
