Artist Statement
The meandering river of time has chronicled the
development history of mankind while history itself
documents of the intrigues of the rises and falls as well
as the juxtapositions of brightness and shadiness of
times. This project narrates and explores the realm of the
continuation and probability of human civilization and
that, of course, embraces its past, present and future.
Amalgamation and ambiguity are the primary techniques that
have been applied in this project. For examples, the
dragon is an embodiment of features of several kinds of
animals, the landscape depictions bear no characteristics
of any region while the flying objects and celestial
bodies are all non-forms.
This project, 100 Million Years’ Landscape, is the
present time/space transit station that links up the past
and the future.
-- Yuan Shun, Beijing
2011/03/02
Mindscape is Yuan Shun's conceptual record of the
mental landscape that he has as well as his link to the
past and future.
Up to now, Yuan has built a series twelve installations
with sands and other materials. After finishing each
construction, he keeps visual records (photographs and
videos) of his creation before dismantling the whole
setting.
Yuan says his works are to push illusions and ideas into
another universe. The models that he builds are to realize
some impossible journeys as well as to reveal things
around him. The mental landscapes exist in his
visuals.
"I have built models that may be linked to different parts
of the world, such as the huge hydro power station on
Yangtse River, the parts of Florida that was hit by
hurricanes, Southeast Asian locations plagued by typhoons
or flooded areas in South Africa," Yuan said.
"In my installations, I always include the elements of
water, fire and wind. For me, to build or to destroy these
models is a spiritual and inspirational process. It is
like a Buddhist monk going through meditation reminding me
to go beyond myself."
