2024: Vilan / The hibernation
Jue Yang
Jue Yang is an artist, filmmaker and writer living in Rotterdam. Before moving to the Netherlands, Jue studied Geography and Architecture and worked as a technologist in the US. During that period, she participated in playwriting, directing and dramaturgy workshops across New York City and self-produced plays. In Rotterdam, she finished her Master’s in Lens-based Media at the Piet Zwart Institute where she started making films.
Jue entered the winter residency, the hibernation, with the question of how does the wind breathe? This time of the year the wind also brings the cold from the sea and the limits of lights. The studio becomes fundamental as a shelter or nest where the hibernation is taking place and slowing down pace and adapting to the limitation of lights. Jue said the studio is making her feel like living inside a tree. This imagination opens up borders of living in coexistence. In Jues work she practice care from a fundamental level. From the roots of mediation the body of self is the representation of many living forms wanting to support your life. The story of hope starts there.
From the settlement into Åsen Jue further explores how to stay open to what is coming and gathering the threads it offers. The mediums she brought; the loom, computer, camera and recorder is in this case secondary, It is a way for her to process what she is experiencing.
In her work and film snippets of three breathing practices with Jue and Åsen the partispant is asked to follow along in this fundamental practice of breathing, guided by voice, sound and image. The work opening up reflections and gratitude to acknowledge what is there for all of us, what we take for granted in our daily life to work as just functions. If we follow the question of her projekt, ”how does the wind breath” in this film snippets, there is threads off interconnectedness seen (and unseen) by oxygen, light/dark, carbon, a.o – opening up a long the wind.
