The three series extend this enquiry across different scales. Held considers how intimacy is shaped by pressure, reciprocity and partial knowledge. Occupied examines how labour organises bodies, space and attention, including after the worker has left. Situated turns towards time, tracing change that emerges through movement, repetition and material transformation rather than a single event. Together, the series move from relations between people, to the individual within an institution, and finally to existence within time.

Yang does not seek neutrality by withdrawing from these subjects. Instead, he suspends judgement long enough for contradictory conditions to remain visible. Care may coexist with burden; intimacy with risk; order with exhaustion; stillness with ongoing change. His works ask viewers to distinguish observation from assumption and to recognise that meaning changes with position, information and duration.

At a time when experience is often compressed into immediate reaction and measurable outcome, The Audit of Being proposes observation as an active form of thought. It asks viewers to attend to the conditions through which experience takes shape before their consequences become explicit: the pressure carried within closeness, the labour that continues after work, and the changes through which time becomes material. The exhibition does not deliver a verdict. It presents the evidence and asks what we are prepared to see.
