Green Grey Black Brown
Yuyan Wang / Republic of Korea (South Korea), France & China / 2025 / World Premiere / 12 min
Philosophical science fiction that exposes the dark underbelly of the plastics and tech industry, where a dark slime with remnants of the Jurassic era resurfaces in today's shopping malls.
Yuyan Wang’s digital collage work ‘Green Grey Black Brown’ takes the plastic industry as its starting point and delves into a synthetic nature where everything is bound together by a dark slime – an oily substance where flora from the Jurassic period is resurrected as decorations in modern shopping malls. Like a piece of philosophical science fiction, the work exposes the bloody logic of petro-capitalism and the global extractive industry, which is the flip side of the tech industry’s vision of a bright future.
