I discuss the (2,2)-formalism of general relativity based on the (2,2)-fibration of a generic 4-dimensional spacetime of the Lorentzian signature. In this formalism general relativity is describable as a Yang-Mills gauge theory defined on the (1+1)-dimensional base manifold, whose local gauge symmetry is the group of the diffeomorphisms of the 2-dimensional fibre manifold. After presenting the Einstein's field equations in this formalism, I solve them for spherically symmetric case to obtain the Schwarzschild solution. Then I discuss possible applications of this formalism.
