ARTIST STATEMENT

 

Wuchao Feng (b.1998, Ningbo) is a Chinese artist based in London with an MA in Photography from the Royal College of Art and BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her research-led practice engages with fluidity, identity, and materiality through natural metaphors—particularly water, salt, and pearl—situating them within feminist, ecological, and posthuman thought. Influenced by visual anthropology, Feng investigates how trauma, memory, and language sediment in matter. Her notion of “oceanic identity” reframes diasporic subjectivity as mutable, relational, and materially entangled. Through sculptural installation, performance, and poetic text, she develops a hydrographic vocabulary—one that resists borders, embraces permeability, and offers space for embodied forms of knowing and belonging.

冯吴超,1998年出生于浙江宁波,研究生毕业于英国皇家艺术学院摄影专业,本科毕业于芝加哥艺术学院,作品主要包括摄影、装置、行为艺术等。作品关注全球化及人类纪时代的个体归属与媒介的可能性,通过去标签化的自然喻体提出流动的身份认知概念,以山川海流为诗,砂石盐渍为谱,在一系列人与自然产生交互过程中,展开了一场持续的自我和解之旅。
