Image description

'Gweong Gweong' references the Chinese language sound effect for jets, seen here dropping their cargo as they rise over Tian'anmen Square. China's iconic Gate of Heavenly Peace is the backdrop for this scene, with hundreds of uniformly dressed cheerleaders rushing its gates, waiving their orange pom-poms in joyful unison as they descend towards the image of Mao hung above the gate. The jets of course are not dropping bombs, but repeated and identical forms of Yue Minjun's self-image. Mao Zedong (1893-1976) known as Chairman Mao, leader of the Chinese revolution, and founding father of the People's Republic of China (PRC)
