Yang Hao
Pied A Terre means a secondary home ,such as an apartment in the city; but I have extended it to mean for me a home for holiday or a shlter from the storm. In this dreamlike resting place, Jessica Rizzo and I found inspiration from each other’s different professions and personal experience,where we created”other” characters through our “selves”. A lone birdman trapped in its own imagined space; a man dress as woman as his fantasy to female, these type of cheracters between being understood and being misunderstood,using the body to search for what people desire the most; love company and acceptance.
