Sexy shows Yan Xing unsuccessfully trying to reach orgasm in freezing temperatures among the falling rocks and howling winds of a precarious canyon. His erotic failure leaves the voyeur-viewer unfulfilled and disappointed. The work explores notions of identity, masculinity, sexuality, voyeurism, and cultural taboos.
Yan Xing’s video, performance, and installation work often places the viewer as voyeur of Xing’s own experiences. He explores his own sexual, familial, and art-historical roles, while precipitating viewers to question their own roles and social status. He co-founded and works in collaboration with the artist group COMPANY, which includes members Chen Zhou, Li Ming, and Li Ran.
