Lambda print mounted on aluminium. - Signed bottom right, photo certificate by the artist, work published in the catalog "P3 Performative-Paper-Project" side event of the 52nd Venice Biennale, 2007 Palazzo Frisacco, Tolmezzo (UD). // Landscape by Huang Yan is a Lambda print photograph, part of an exclusive edition of 12, mounted on aluminum and signed by the artist. This artwork juxtaposes traditional Chinese landscape aesthetics with contemporary photography. At the center stands a tattooed figure, embodying both ancient and modern elements, positioned against a painted landscape backdrop reminiscent of classic Chinese scrolls. The rugged foreground, with cracked concrete and debris, contrasts sharply with the lush, idealized nature behind, creating a powerful tension between the past and the present. This piece, published in the catalog for the P3 Performative-Paper-Project at the 52nd Venice Biennale in 2007, reflects Huang Yan's exploration of cultural identity and transformation.

What is appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
