ZIYU WANG, Yangsheng Trailer, 2025, 11
Yangsheng Trailer, Frame 13




About: This yangsheng trailer uses riso printing aesthetics and motion to introduce the sensibility of 养生 (yangsheng, means Nurishing life) through rhythm rather than instruction. Instead of explaining concepts or outlining practices, the video focuses on pace, repetition, and visual texture—allowing color shifts, misregistration, and temporal pauses to shape the viewing experience.

The trailer functions as an atmospheric entry point. Movement is slowed, fragmented, and looped, resisting the efficiency and clarity typically expected of informational videos. By translating yangsheng into visual rhythm, the work emphasizes feeling over understanding, inviting the viewer to sense balance, interruption, and rest rather than consciously process content.

As part of the larger thesis inquiry, this project positions design as a mediator of experience. The trailer does not ask the viewer to learn or improve, but to momentarily inhabit a different temporal logic—one where care emerges through attention, repetition, and gentle disorientation.
这段养生预告片运用了riso印刷的美学和动态效果,以节奏而非讲解的方式展现养生的理念。视频不解释概念或概述实践方法,而是着重于节奏、重复和视觉质感——色彩变化、错位和时间停顿共同塑造观者的体验。

预告片营造了一种氛围感。画面缓慢、碎片化且循环播放,打破了信息类视频通常追求的效率和清晰度。通过将养生转化为视觉节奏,作品强调感受而非理解,引导观众感受平衡、中断和休憩,而非有意识地处理内容。

作为论文研究的一部分,本项目将设计定位为体验的媒介。预告片并非要求观众学习或提升,而是引导他们暂时沉浸于一种不同的时间逻辑——在这种逻辑中,养生源于专注、重复的努力。
