Director Statement

Yiru Qian’s work is based on an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach, focusing on spatial narratives and memories to find identities.
Spatial narratives can involve objects, sounds, visual images, smells, texts, dreams, and other media, through which, space is no longer a passive Anthropocene result, but a participant with subjectivity, providing the roots of existence for fluid identity. Deeply influenced by artist research methodology, she seeks a balance between artistic expression and rational analysis when confronting a topic.
