YILE ZENG


The reverie and obsession with unknown objects move my creations, and the tangible vicinity and the metaphysical distant lands together build my universe. The three components of circular narrative, vaguely ghostly subjects and poetic and absurd visuals permeate all my works, which span a range of forms, including film, installation, performance and sound design. I hide my personal experiences and feelings within the intricate folds of my work, but rather than chasing passive reality, I worship active illusion, from which I return to the observer those obscure, neglected spaces of the subconscious.
