This is at the tio of the dog nose, at " the cross of the edge of the sea " ( boundary between river and sea space), |
|||||||||||
in Saint-Brévin-les-Pins, where arises the great sea serpent of Huang Yong Ping, whose skeleton appears like |
|||||||||||
it is the result of an archeological excavation. By showing on the shores of Europe a major figure of the Chinese |
|||||||||||
mythology, Huang Yong Ping addresses as often in his work the notions of identity and cultural hybridity. |
|||||||||||
The environnemental issue is also very present in his art he regularly updates the paradox of man sawing off |
|||||||||||
the bough on which he sits, torn between creative abilities and destructive impulses. |
|||||||||||
This is one possible reading of this work : positioned on the foreshore, the skeleton appears along with the rhytm |
|||||||||||
of the tide, and welcomes gradually marine flora and fauna. |
