Action No.1

2012 - Installation (Installation)

Yang Guangnan

location: New York City, United States
year born: 1986
home town: Inner Mongolia, China

In Action no. 1 Yang Guangnan reflects on the interiority and exteriority of human-technological experience with mechanical gestures that are semi-human and semi-machine. A hanged shirt mounted upon the artist’s machine rhythmically bounces and rotates in a way that suggests a skeletal interior.


Yang Guangnan is a multimedia installation artist from the Hebei Province of China. She creates technological devices that explore daily human experience and behavior. Her videos often visualize private and bodily sensory experiences in order to describe emotional experiences.
