Chenyao He || Yet to Come (2021) Trailer | Installation, performance, video

"Yet to Come (2020)" series consists of four independent works: Central, Ceremony, Execution, and Repair. Each piece combines installation, performance, and video. A hidden storyline also links the works, revolving around a mother entity. Central is about discovering and extracting her, Ceremony is about transporting parts taken from her, Execution is about sacrificing and disposing of the anthropomorphized mother entity, and Repair is about using the processed mother entity. The series includes many ritualistic actions that sanctify exploitation, extraction, and use. As an organic being, the mother entity is one of the few colored elements in the series, contrasting with other white and gray elements. The works metaphorically address the exploitation of nature and women, linking female fertility with the vitality of nature, placing women on a constructed pedestal as involuntary, exploited, and sacrificial figures.
