The Douglas Hyde Galley of Contemporary Art is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Ireland by artist and filmmaker Yuyan Wang.
Working primarily in film, Wang excavates the vast landscape of digital imagery, distilling hours of found footage into compelling films. Through her rhythmic editing, and punctuated by distinct soundtracks, Wang deconstructs and recontextualises images to consider ideas of extraction, production and waste.
The title of the exhibition #16161D refers to the HEX or colour code for ‘intrinsic grey’ – the uniform dark, grey colour that people see in the absence of light, for example, when we close our eyes. Through key works presented in #16161D including Look on the Bright Side and Green Grey Black Brown, Wang considers our ability to absorb and metabolise a constant stream of visual information, from the spectacular to the disastrous.
