Pleasant Sensation Passing Through Flesh - 3
2012 - Installation (Installation)
60H x 26W x 34D inches
Yang Zhenzhong
Peasant Sensation Passing Through Flesh – 3 consists of a massage chair fixed to a wall. With its cushions removed to reveal its internal mechanisms, the chair’s programmed rubbing, kneading, patting, and vibrating motions create a strange sight and soundscape. The work explores the relationship between flesh and machine as they come together through technologically simulated social behaviors, challenging normative ideas about human interaction.
Yang Zhenzhong’s artwork challenges traditional notions of social behavior, often using new media to focus upon disharmony and contradiction within Chinese society and broach taboo subjects within Chinese culture such as death and obsolete familial traditions. Yang studied painting at the Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou. His work has been featured in the Venice Biennale, Shanghai Biennale, Asia Pacific Triennale of Contemporary Art, and Lyon Biennale.
