Golden Bridge
- Photography (Photography)
Lin Yilin
Golden Bridge is part of “Golden Journey”, a series of site-specific performances and installations created during Lin’s residency at Kadist San Francisco. The photograph is a documentation of a Golden Gate Bridge performance that makes palpable the tensions between people and the military, the individual and the group, danger and ordinary life. Lin recalls: “Fighter planes repetitively flew over my head. I became aware that they were supervising me. At the end, the U. S. Navy understood: This was art. They became the greatest audience of my work.”
Lin Yilin is a versatile and internationally significant artist whose work has been marked strongly by his provocative urban interventions—an approach with deep resonance given the increasing attention to the politics of space and insurgent actions in the climate of the Occupy movement. He uses sculpture, installation, performance, photography, and videos to explore how urban development affects the ways in which people relate to community and space.
