zhuyan ye makes images and sound, performs and writes to respond to her experiences of present impasse or transitional moments in ordinary life. The incoherent sensorium in zhuyan’s practice is situated in the context of immigration, queerness and geopolitics in East Asia. She walks around the marginal spaces of the cities she has lived in and drawn to people’s agency facing their gentrified personal spaces. She talks back into time in an absolute discontinuity while working to develop alternative structures of communication. The ideal space for her is porous, air flowing and changing or allowed to change. zhuyan witnesses the movement from daily objects and performs as the objects. She accepts illness and death numbly and disciplines them into writing and pictorial memory.
