ArtReview China / To do something grand with gentleness

如果说黄安澜的作品在风格与主题上看似庞杂,那么“精神性”或许是去领会它们的更好视角。她细腻绵长的叙述与影像之下,蕴藏着对时空和存在的深刻思考——一种来自远古的理想主义的召唤。在她的作品中,我们感受到与永恒的距离,这不仅是时间上的隔阂,更是人类渴望超越现实的永恒追寻。

ARTBBS / Tell the truth but tell it slant

如果我要选择接受并认为“工业化”与“软色情”即是这个行业的一切,那么我也是在全盘否定我自己的生命。但遗憾的是我无法做到这样决绝地自我否决,所以只能关注这种矛盾,更多时候甚至感觉自己像在平静地从玻璃渣里捡糖吃。

Artisle / Narrating "illogical innocence" through "brutal honesty"

Instead of battling in binary oppositions, my current creative work is more about finding the greatest common denominators that transcend culture and time, and then revisiting narrative archetypes through contemporary mediums.

Digital America / Issue 19

In Illogical Innocence (2019) Yasmine Anlan Huang explores her identity and how it has changed since moving from Asia to the United States, having been an idol wannabe and immersed in kawaii culture for so long. She presents a tutorial on “How to Be a Former Idol” with an “autobiographical avatar” who interacts with random people on Tinder, provoking responses that illuminate the fetishization of Asian girls and the overall outlook of idol culture.

Accent Society / I oppose the negative connotations attached to traditionally "feminine" traits

On a more serious note, I would say that my interest in exploring grand narratives from a personal perspective is motivated by a desire to capture a certain "tipping point" feeling. In Chinese, the term for tipping point refers to the moment when a single hair bears the weight of everything (千钧一发).

Curator to Go / She Believes in an Eternal and Intense Softness

"Regarding girls, love, and bloodshed, there's something that has been bothering me for a long time: Why do people accept that maintaining a superconductive state requires low temperature and high pressure - how much external force is needed to maintain a state of absolute purity? But, why does a person who insist to maintain an absolute innocence is always regarded as weak, childish, occupying a lower position in the power structure?"

[English]   [Chinese]

Tightbelt / To Cultivate a Human Observer

With the idol industry as the centerpiece, Yasmine participates in the intricate economic chain and emotional exchange through the method of "self-cultivation." She chooses to trade her "intuition of love" for a super-rational research perspective, presenting a convincing and surprising artistic form that delivers a striking blow of "girl power" in response to society.

Monthly Photography / Is it really forbidden?

A female model stands out as an unconventional addition to a protest crowd, with distinct features that set her apart from the demonstrators. Watching Yasmine Huang’s collage work reminds me of the protagonist (Kim Tae-ri) in the Korean movie "1987," who appeared too sophisticated for the turbulent 1980s setting.
