Artist Statement
It is so real
A remote and intimate world
In the dry hot air
Someone sings a soft tone
But it
Stands there quietly
Letting the wind
Take away its past
Things resemble each other
Like in a dream
Push the door softly and walk in
Or just stay standing where you are

Yang Fudong shoots on 35-mm film, and his style recalls the black-and-white films of the 1930s and 1940s, as well as later film noir.
