- **Event Description**: On January 3, 2026, Galleria Civico 23 presented the solo exhibition of emerging artist Wang Yuqi, Born Beneath the Dome, inaugurating the gallery’s 2026 exhibition program. The exhibition centers on the dual-screen video work The Last Performance (2025), accompanied by the photographic series The Bad Eggs of Baby City, and constructs a contemporary allegory on systems, vision, and the awakening of the subject.The Last Performance is a dual-channel video work that, through the juxtaposition of three distinct spatial dimensions, configures a highly theatricalized system of consciousness that is at once self-referential and closed. The first group of scenes is set in amusement parks and circuses generated through miniature modeling: an excessively perfect order and mechanical repetition produce a carefully maintained illusion of happiness, akin to a model of well-being under a “Truman-like dome.” The second scenario shifts to a truly abandoned amusement park, where the clown performs—through highly codified gestures, such as emerging from a haunted house or smiling at himself in the mirror—the role assigned to him by the system. In the third scenario, the clown is placed within the empty space of a disused theater, where he engages in a pursuit and confrontation with a “second figure resembling himself,” giving rise to an act of self-observation beneath a spotlight devoid of an audience.The work replaces linear temporal narration with a horizontal juxtaposition of spaces, so that opulence and ruin, the real and the simulated, are no longer understood as successive phases of an evolution, but as coexisting systemic states. Within this structure, the clown assumes the function of an “interface”—a connective node between the individual and the mechanisms of the gaze: he is simultaneously observed and self-observing through the mirror. Masks, reflective surfaces, and expectations compose a closed perceptual circuit, in which “happiness” is revealed as an activatable function rather than a spontaneous emotional experience.The exhibition Born Beneath the Dome does not present fictional characters from Wang Yuqi’s artistic universe, but rather proposes a metaphor for a real condition. We are born beneath a dome—an invisible structure constructed by family, society, technology, culture, and memory. Each of us is named, shaped, and assigned a role under this imperceptible dome; and the beginning of freedom often coincides with becoming aware of its existence. The two series presented in the exhibition unfold around this awareness: The Last Performance recounts how a predestined clown begins to recognize his condition within a closed theater and attempts to tear apart the script of destiny; the photographic series The Bad Eggs of Baby City, instead, focuses on those “anomalous” figures generated within the system itself—subjects who are at once products of the dome and cracks in its structure.This, ultimately, is the identity of the Born Beneath the Dome: in an already programmed world, to claim for oneself a true birth.
