Yuqing is an artist born in Chengdu, Sichuan and work in London. Her working across moving image, installation, public events, painting and texts.
Yuqing’s work questions how we produce ‘ images of opacity’, and through a multisensory image-making process, she map a cosmology of symbiosis with ghosts, alienators, and more than human matter.
She often uses the methodology of speculative fiction to reimagine power structures within historical narratives. Drawing inspiration from post-apocalyptic sci-fi, mythology, internet fragmentation(or fan fiction?). she seeks to find a sense of belonging and sentient passage amidst worlds entangled with different more than human beings, capturing moments of intimacy, structural trauma, and desire.
Simultaneously, she is the part of the collective project “if splash as your whistle” which is a long- term project explores queer and diaspora journey through moving images and artist films .
