Yuyan Wang (1989, China) is a filmmaker and video artist currently based in Paris. Her works involve recycled materials from the industrial sphere of image production, tracing their mutation and proliferation within digital frameworks and representations. Through the editing process, Wang deconstructs and recontextualizes the intricate hierarchies and inherent meanings in materials — whether found, processed, or produced—stripping symbols of their conventional paths of perception and turning them into immersive, sensory experiences.
Her work has been showcased at the Venice Biennale; Tate Modern, London; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; UCCA Beijing, the 12th Berlin Biennale, 15th Gwangju Biennale, and various festivals, such as the Berlinale International Film Festival, the International Film Festival Rotterdam, MoMa Doc Fortnight, CPH:DOX, the European Media Art Festival, receiving numerous awards. Recent solo exhibitions include The Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin; Wanås Konst, Sweden; 3 bis f – Centre d’arts contemporains, Aix-en-Provence; and Crac Alsace, Altkirtch.
