Contrary to popular belief, Wing Chun in movies didn’t start with Donnie Yen. Not only was Sammo Hung making Wing Chun films in the early 80′s, Cecilia Wong was busting out Wing Chun forms in 1977. in fact, in the film (Stranger from Shaolin), Cecilia plays Yim Wing Chun, the founder of the style. Is this the earliest example of Wing Chun in the movies? Nope. A year earlier, Ip Man’s real life son, Ip Chun, portrayed his father in the Bruceploitation film, Bruce Lee the Man, the Myth. I’m sure there were even earlier examples of Wing Chun being used. None pop into my head at the moment though.

“Stress” by Yoan Capote

2004

Concrete and bronze

250 x 60 x 60 cms

Edition : -

Collection : Karen and Robert Duncan- Lincoln, Nebraska, USA

This piece was inspired by the artist’s personal experience of grinding his teeth as a result of stress; but the work is also a monument to the collective experience of contemporary urban life. The artist went to a clinic in Havana and took the molds of teeth of several anonymous people; he reproduced those teeth in bronze and conjoined the molds in a linear fashion. The bronze teeth bear the weight of each 500 pound concrete block. The sculpture symbolically uses the notion of gravity, material and its weight to create the sculpture and the idea of burden; it also examines the meaning of teeth as an important part of the body used to establish identification or the identity of a person.
