Frank WANG Yefeng: The Levitating Perils #2

Frank WANG Yefeng subverts colonial imagery codes through five striking digital animations. At the center of his work is a floating red dragon, both strange and playful, which reinterprets illustrations from “The Yellow Peril” previously disseminated in European newspapers to fuel racial prejudices. This dreamlike figure becomes the symbol of questions of identity and cultural displacement. The artist transforms historical xenophobic stereotypes into a moving and profound visual experience. From October 29, 2025 to October 28, 2026, New York hosts this necessary reflection on the legacies of history. These works offer a rare perspective on how contemporary art can challenge consciences through technology and humor, making the message both accessible and impactful.
