Cici Wu (Beijing, 1989. Lives in New York and Hong Kong) creates mixed media works spanning drawing, film, sculpture, installation, and found materials. Her poetic installations approach memory and mobility, often blending rice paper, bamboo, and cinematic elements. Often taking local microhistories or archives as a point of departure, she uses the cinematic frame as a means to negotiate and reflect on the ways in which transpersonal narratives of social, cultural and historical belonging structure our experiences of self. She co-founded PRACTICE and The Room of Spirit and Time in New York. Wu has exhibited at major institutions and events, including the Rockbund Art Museum (Shanghai), the Drawing Center (New York), Para Site (Hong Kong), MMCA (Seoul), CAPC Bordeaux, the Asian Art Biennial (Taiwan), the Yokohama Triennale, and the Seoul Mediacity Biennale.

Yuan Yuan (1994) works with writing, moving image, and photography to reflect on belonging and displacement experienced by humans, both collectively and individually. Yuan’s practice explores the ties between human-made structures and the natural world, questioning how we position ourselves within landscapes, memories, emotions, and larger systems, often challenging anthropocentric views. With a background in literature and language, the artist treats writing as both a tool and a reflective space, evolving alongside visual forms. Yuan’s works often unfold through subtle gestures, dreamlike sequences, and archival fragments, tracing a world where artificial and organic, personal and collective blur. Yuan Yuan’s ongoing inquiry orbits around the tension between intimacy and estrangement, asking how we might rethink human presence quietly, and from the margins.
