Programme
Yuyan Wang, Weather
Exhibition supported by the Carte Blanche program, Région Sud
Yuyan Wang is a video artist born in China and based in France. Her work explores the transformation of materials drawn from the image industry, which she deconstructs and reassembles through editing. By diverting images from their original contexts and from the ways they circulate—whether found, altered, or fabricated—she converts them into immersive sensory experiences.
Weather sketches an atmospheric landscape from images gleaned on social media. Captured by anonymous individuals across a scattered cartography, these wandering images—meteorological phenomena, everyday gestures, fleeting moments of contemplation—form the drifting fragments of a shared visual horizon. Stripped of their provenance and of the codified uses of dominant narratives, they gradually reveal affective layers tied to sensibility. In an age of information overload and the general acceleration of time, this fractured panorama invites us to relearn how to inhabit the real.
