HUMEN-ART-NATURE by Wanlin Jiang, Gibbons

This project is inspired by my volunteer experience of protecting the skywalker hoolock gibbons, one of the critically endangered animal in Yunnan city. During the time I spent in Xiangbai village, I discovered two things. One was that “some villagers think human is the most dominant animals in the world and they are able to control everything on earth”. I totally disagree with that and hence I made a shadow art installation to satirize that unreasonable opinion.

The second was that "gibbons rescue rely on not only researchers’ effort but more important is to build a better relationship between villagers and gibbons". To build the connection between gibbons and villagers, Cloud Mountain Conservation made the people's theatre as a linkage to connect them which I think this will make the villagers feel proud of protecting gibbons in their hometown.

What I do believe is that art can connect human to nature together.

人類-藝術-自然 by Wanlin Jiang, Gibbons

在保護天行長臂猿的期間，我的第一個發現是：「部分村民認為人類是世界上最高級的動物，所以他們有權力去操控地球上的一切事物」，因此我製作了一個光影裝置去諷刺這個愚蠢的說法。




第二個發現是：「保護物種不能只依靠科研人員的努力，更重要村民與長臂猿的關系」，因此云山保护嘗試讓民眾戲劇成為村寨與長臂猿之間的紐帶，幫助村寨看到自己的文化，為自己家鄉的長臂猿自豪和發聲。



我堅信藝術可以連接人類和自然。
