Yang Yu

artistiek onderzoek - communicatie - design - film - installatie

Yang Yu is a Filmmaker and Visual artist. Emotional narrative is her forte to immerse audiences into the environment of her projects. Her keen eyes on visuals and words make filmmaking her most natural way of expression. However, defining her practice as “film” is not accurate. Design, installation, literature and poetry are fascinatingly converging in her practice. She focuses on female survival problems and psychological state, personal and collective memory, digital natives, marginalized communities, and abandoned areas. Her work has been exhibited at the Het Nieuwe Instituut, V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media and EYEFILM Museum in the Netherlands.

  • “Visible Stitches, Invisible Women” by Yang Yu draws inspiration from the enduring value of items like handcrafted sweaters, which, though outdated and non-mainstream choices, become vessels for memories. Yang parallels the overlooked role of women in coding with the historical significance of women in weaving traditions. She unveils the hidden labor in coding and weaving through an interactive space, translating hand-knitted sweaters into unique patterns.
