The video shows a fictional Fengshui counseling online. A Fengshui master links himself to the brain of a client with a screen, studies the graphic fragments on the screen, and gives advice. However it ends up in polemic. The pictures, though coming from the artist’s real life, gives a heightened sense of dizziness. Under the guise of Fengshui, the video reveals the complicated relationship between media, feelings, and narrative, as well as how to narrate an individual’s fate in conjunction with the material space.

Yu Guo was born in Tongjiang, Sichuan in 1983, he graduated from Department of Oil Painting of Sichuan Fine Arts Institute in 2016, currently lives and works in Chongqing. Yu  Guo’s art practice involves painting, video and writing. Base on the space practice, Yu Guo emphasizes the combination of body and media materials to keep the minutes of the creation process. Recently his works focused on the interweaving of images with texts, as well as the interplay between visible and invisible of social fact.
