The solo exhibition of one of the most influential contemporary artists, Yang Fudong, will be opened on 19. september 9.30pm at Fotografiska Tallinn.
Moving Mountains is a 46-minute, black-and-white film, accompanied by photographs from the film set, drawings and props. The film is inspired by the ancient tale of a man, seeking to move a mountain, and extolls the virtues of perseverance and collective action. The artist makes this story a poetic reflection upon human nature and the shifting values to which it can be subjected.
