PROTECTION

An interactive performance by Chin Chih Yang, “Protection” is a dramatization of the physical susceptibility individuals are made to suffer in the face of political and social measures supposedly designed for their mutual benefit. It continues the public quality that cuts across the whole of his work. As in most of Yang’s performances, “Protection” recreates the divisiveness individuals experience within and around themselves, exploring the emotional sub-texture that underlies a media-centered world bent on reducing truth to spectacle.
