Bells for Shanghai, 2017
Work of Yoko Ono, performed by Yang Fudong
Opening ceremony performance
Audiences are handed a small bell that they can sound at will. Amidst the ringing they are encouraged to make a wish, creating a somewhat discordant, but meditative resonance. Instead of suggesting a grand gesture or action for the sake of the planet, the audience is instructed, “don’t try to change the world, that’s a concept floating on our horizon. Just use your wits and change your heads.”
