In Idol Series: No. 10 (Lot 135) Yue's self-image is depicted in a different, contorted and absurdist position, a contortion that represent the artist's attempt to re-shape the human figure to represent individual written ideograms from the Chinese written language. While it remains difficult to identify the individual "word" embedded in the pose, what is most striking about the pose is the aura of submission and isolation. The figure is lower to the ground, spot lit and viewed from above, with his back or knees pressing awkwardly against the floor. The arms are disconcertingly restricted and by an unseen, dominating force, while the figure retains his disconcertingly gleeful expression.
Throughout Yue's works, the laughing figure is exaggerated to such an extent that it becomes clear that the hilarity verges on a kind of madness, its source unrelated to the reality of one's circumstances. By equating the human body with language itself, Yue renders the body both signify of meaning and a medium subject to manipulation and control.
