Yang Di (b. 1990) lives and works in Düsseldorf and Suzhou. In 2020 he graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts Düsseldorf with a Master’s degree (Diplom) in Free Art and was awarded the Meisterschüler. In the same year he was awarded the Graduate Award of the Academy of Fine Arts Düsseldorf. His works have been selected for many film festivals and film festivals in China and abroad. Yang’s works cover video installations, photography, and painting. Based on his research on the change of narrative patterns, Yang investigates reverse control and effects of images and narrative methods on humans. His works are often derived from existing films, literature, paintings, and pop culture. Yang’s art language manipulates how the audience perceives these existing objects (films etc.). The audience is therefore compelled to review, re-read, and rethink from the present moment.
