Yuqing is an artist born in Chengdu, Sichuan and currently based in London. Her practice spans moving image, installation, public participation, painting, and text.

Her work questions how we produce ‘images of opacity’, and through a multi-sensory image-making process, she weaves memory, mythology, and fantasy into visual forms. She explores the intersections of multiple realities and diasporic experiences, mapping 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 and to experiment with decolonial way  of storytelling. Drawing inspiration from post-apocalyptic sci-fi, mythology, and internet fragmentation (such as fan fiction, social media ), she seeks a sense of belonging and sentient passage within worlds entangled with more-than-human beings, capturing moments of intimacy, structural trauma, and desire.

At the same time, Yuqing considers the process of image-making as a diffractive practice of kin-making.  She is also part of the long-term collective project If Splash As Your Whistle, which explores queer and diasporic journeys through moving image and artist film.
