Cui Yuxuan (b.1999, Changchun, China) is a visual artist and storyteller currently living and working in the Netherlands. Yuxuan holds a BA from School of Foreign Studies & School of Arts, Nanjing University, and obtains her MA Fine Arts at Hogeschool voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU).
Cui Yuxuan has been a guest in the project ruimte at Het Wilde Weten for the last tree months. Together with artist Huaiqian Liu they will be showing some of their latest works.
Her work extensively combines photography, video installation, archives, semi-fictional text, and participatory experience. These narratives reside in the interstice between fiction, documentary, and investigative research. Stemming from individual life experiences, she employs a feminine perspective and poetic language to narrate the transformations of identity amidst geographical migration and varied relationships. She delves into the intricate geopolitical dynamics of marginal areas and the political and historical remains therein. Committed to making the invisible visible, the clear ambiguous, and the solid flexible, she endeavors to utilize bodily perception and border-crossing movement as subtle interventions in society, responding to the pervasive power micro-techniques within history and memory.
