About

In the Attic of the main barn artist Yuyan Wang’s film installation Green Grey Black Brown, draws viewers into a hypnotic experience of a synthetic and dystopian landscape of flowing oil and plastic. Wang works with found imagery from industrial and commercial contexts. She explores how these moving images change depending on the contexts and ways in which they are used and disseminated. Through rhythmic editing, and a gloomy looped soundtrack – a slowed-down version of Yes’s classic 1980s “Owner of a Lonely Heart” – the meaning of the images is transformed into a powerful sensorial experience.

Green Grey Black Brown was initially commissioned for the 2024 edition of the prestigious Gwangju Biennale in South Korea, and this is Yuyan Wang’s first exhibition in Sweden.
