Yang Yongliang's 70-Meter Video Installation 'Journey to the Dark II'

The work is an ultra-high-resolution (8K) nocturnal panorama that appears mostly still, with only small flickering lights and distant moving cars. As viewers approach, the scene reveals increasing movement and life, depicting a dense urban environment. The imagery was assembled from photo and video materials shot in Macao.
