“Dawn Breaking – Imperial Seal” is a special series of works extended from Yang Fudong’s first Museum Film Project “Dawn Breaking” held in Long Museum 2018. Literally, “Imperial Seal” is the object dedicated to present emperor’s authority and decree, adopted here as the title of this series which captures the essential scenes and chapters in the site-specific space. Therefore, the “Imperial Seal” series records and reflects the different junctures throughout artist’s creation as it collectively showcases the selection of the core shooting fragments, colour tone and the only script Nietzsche’s quotation. It forms a unique perspective to appreciate the grand Museum Film of “Dawn Breaking”.
