The Bunker, located at No.3 Zhangzizhong Road, is the site of the former Duan Qirui’s Government Building, where the 3.18 incident occurred on March 18th, 1926. 1926 was an eventful year, in which Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zuolin, Wu Peifu, Duan Qirui, Lu Zhonglin, Lu Xun, Li Dazhao and Xu Qian embarked on their political career, in the meanwhile, Northern Warlords, Japanese, the Western Powers, Soviet Republic, Comintern, Kuomintang, Communist Party and young students all tightly entangled in a political impasse. They played different roles in this turbulent historical drama, seeking their own respective interests until the day in March 1926 when they saw their own opportunity and hope. Xin Yunpeng re-examines this specific history through three videos and one site-specific installation, in which the time and space are deliberately undermined. Xin Yunpeng utilizes the specific geographical location of the bunker space and its closed, confrontational features of the military fortification to juxtapose the mirror images of history and reality, and enables the viewer to contemplate and experience, in this underground space, the driving ‘hope’, the dilemma in history, reality, society and life.
掩体空间坐落的段祺瑞执政府旧址曾是1926年3.18事件的发生地。
1926年是一个风云际会之年，冯玉祥、张作霖、吴佩孚、段祺瑞、鹿仲麟、鲁迅、李大钊、徐谦等粉墨登场；北洋军阀、日本人、西方列强、苏共和共产国际、国民党、中共各方势力纠缠其中。他们在这场时代大剧中扮演着不同的角色，寻求着各自的利益，在1926年3月他们都从自己的角度看到机会，怀揣着各自的希望……
艺术家把对3.18事件的回望与思考凝练成三段影像和一个空间装置。
展览的四个部分利用掩体空间所处的特定地理位置以及它作为军事工事特有的封闭、对抗特征使历史与现实的镜像在此地重叠，使观者身处掩体感悟“希望”的驱动，体会历史、现实、社会、人生的困境。
