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.

Where can our desire still intrude in the plethora of poetic, pornographic, intellectual, psychological, promotional, and political offerings? In the field of ruins of the imaginary, increasingly littered with Instagram images of war victims, portraits of friends who left this world too soon, calls for help from NGOs, and—in their wake—, images of ever more exhibitions we couldn’t see, parties that always look better from afar, clothes that would finally suit our morphology, or the latest accessories needed to help us sleep...
