Mickey Yang creates installations, objects and videos. Her art is about people’s individual perceptions. Meaning: How do people perceive different objects? Or nature? Why do different people see the world differently? Why is that? Is it because of the place they live in? Is it because of their culture? Is it because of the media? The word Upaya comes from buddhism. It describes the path of cognition. Meaning the way a person comes to Buddhism. What this person learns from it. What changes as a result. It is also about misunderstandings on this path. And about disappointments. They are the topic of this exhibition. Apart from that, it is about the question: How do people understand each other? How do they exchange ideas? It is about language. About hearing and feeling. And about secret codes. What do we perceive? Is that really true? All of that will be re-examined in Mickey Yang’s art.
