Dawn Breaking (2018) Yang Fudong

Dawn Breaking (2018) Yang Fudong Yang constructed two largescale sets within Shanghai's Long Museum West Bund and filmed on them, in front of an audience, over the course of a month. The action surrounds the ceremonial and artistic life (for example, the mourning ceremony at which the emperor would discuss matters of state with his ministers) during the song dynasty period in Chinese history (960-1279CE). Yang shoots Kunqu-style theatre within the museum space as a "film" on flawless glossy, then abrasively grainy digital. Continuing to manipulate the image, pushing it through further stages of practical effects, patterned silk screens foreground the image, and later post-production work, descending into flicker film territory. On the soundtrack appears mostly opera, interspersed with quotations from the Chinese scholar Zhou Guoping’s translations of Nietzche, his work is quoted in snatches, both by actors and in inter-titles, which provided a form of psychological commentary on the scenes that had been shot and connected the past to the present. Together Nietzsche and Buddhism produce notions of return and reincarnation that's sometimes in conflict and sometimes sympathetic. Dialogue is played back through tinny static, the image/sound relationship shifted as words leave from the actors mouths out of sync. At the end of each day the artist presented an edited short film of the day’s work as a form of video diary, each one marking an evolution towards a final film that is yet to come, forming a notion of construction to reveal the structure of the film in the process of it's making. Both self-reflexive and deconstructive, the dailies are shown in various combinations, assembled into a continuous film and individually on different flat screens, alongside the live movie set, creating an immersive video installation. “The viewer gets to be the director: they can see how things change onset, and then predict how the film will turn out.” sources : Sam C.
