Artist

Song Mingyu

The artist processes, classifies and systematizes the data from the experiences in a landscape, and focuses on ways to visualize screens composed of signs, symbols, and decorations. From 2016 to 2020, the artist was interested in landscapes composed of fictional images based on reality, and planned a tripartite exhibition SFD: Science Fiction Drawing that adopted the logic of the thesis, antithesis, synthesis, and expressed forms of mental labor and practice, individual rules, the landscape of desire, and decoration without narrative structure.
