Frequently asked questions
- What is May 35 about?
- Referring to the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre known in China as the June Fourth Incident, May 35 is an evocative split-screen reincarnation by artist Roland Dahwen of his two-channel museum installation. Equal parts personal and political, historical and imagined, May 35 rests on a cinematic score of aural ebbs and flows, and mixes Dahwen’s own words spoken and displayed news-ticker style with text generated from image-recognition software over a visual examination of Tiananmen Square as an intersection of history, tourism, regulation, and surveillance.
