Yao Cong explores how to administer or to be administered by the “pleasure” in human perception and life experience. Rethink gender, fantasies and power about demonization and cliché. the project questions the relationship between nature and civilization, how human being try to find a poetic lifestyle, how humans learn to adapt themselves across political, social and cultural changes and in which way all these factors influence the human pleasure and if it is possible to find a more authentic “pleasure” from the “pleasure in progress”.
