Wang Jianwei
-
Known for his investigations into the structures of Time, Wang's practice spans a wide range of mediums, including painting, sculpture, video, film, installation, and theatre. His work, profoundly influenced by philosophy, neurology, mathematics and scientific research, primarily concerns notions of experience and perception. Wang has notably coined the idea of "yellow signal", nodal to his practice, which he defines as an intermediary zone where possibilities for a time-lapsed reality can flourish. Within the premises of this concept, he has widely tested and investigated notions of contradiction, limitation and sensory perception in scientific and philosophical terms and in relation to social and historical structures. Wang is drawn to exploring regimes of possibilities within constraining, restrictive systems and reflecting on individuals’ condition in contemporary societies, for he considers himself first and foremost a “sociological observer”.
