Xiao Yang

This performative installation aims to exploit the social injustice that’s inflicted upon every one of us. Incorporating the metaphorical voice of machinery apparatus to reveal the contrived structural trap of which it intertwined as a delusional freewill and defaulting on unalienable human rights while the involuntary "mute" became an acquiescent contract. It enables the visualization of the individuals’ vulnerability in the circumstance of confronting the injustice core of the entire social structure. The work invites viewers to reflect on our own situation; we become the objection of power rather than a subject of communication.
