Zhouyi Ye

Zhouyi Ye is a multimedia artist and filmmaker who works with film, painting, ceramics, and installation. She holds an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts.

Her artistic practice is driven by deep curiosity about how social contexts, space, and bodily experience shape individual identity and perception. Central to her work is the idea of the nomadic mind—a sensibility that moves fluidly through physical and imagined spaces, exploring the boundaries of subjectivity and place.

Her works are characterized by their sensitivity to the nuances of personal and political narratives, which she weaves together across a variety of mediums. Through her own primitive and poetic visual language, Zhouyi constructs immersive experiences that emphasize embodied perception and spatial storytelling, inviting viewers to navigate between memory, loss, and belonging.

By intertwining the personal, political, and spatial, her pieces create a poetic resonance that encourages reflection on how identity is continuously shaped and reimagined, garnering critical attention both domestically and abroad.
