Yang Fudong’s 7-screen black-and-white video installation “The Fifth Night”

 

For the first time in Hong Kong, and as a pre-launch event to Spring’s autumn 2012 opening, Spring (Workshop) is proud to present The Fifth Night, by internationally-acclaimed artist Yang Fudong.  The installation at Spring (3/F Remex Centre, 42 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Hong Kong) is open to the public, free of charge, from Sunday, December 11, 2011 to Sunday, January 8, 2012. The Fifth Night is presented in partnership with Videotage and its One World Exposition.

 

 

The majestic video work, created in 2010, is a dramatic black-and-white film reverie of old Shanghai, projected on seven large synchronised screens, spanning 21 meters in length. The Fifth Night emerged from the artist’s reflection on film production, resulting in his use of a new multiple-camera method for creating a video installation that Yang Fudong calls "multiple-views file." Facing seven cameras, actors' expressions in each shot are uncontrolled. The randomness presents a subtle and unpredictable aesthetic; the piece is as much about the videos as the viewer’s experience of the space.

 

Spring (Workshop) is located at 3/F Remex Centre, 42 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Hong Kong.
