HIGHLIGHT


Video projection onto relief sculpture, 12ft x 7.5ft x 1.5ft, Installed at Olbrich Botanical Gardens (Madison WI) as part of the GLEAM, Art in a New Light exhibition.

Her works is made up of the media and video-based installation, but the paradox of the relationship it actually reveals is realistic, and it continues to change, revealing dramatic moments. The latest installation seems to be also about various relationships and contradictions unfolding in the personal environment that the Artist herself experienced.



Yuge Zhou is a Chinese born, Chicago-based artist whose video and installation works explore urban environments as they are inhabited with the collective rhythms and patterns of human activities.    



“To afar the water flows”

To afar the water flows reconstructs the city into a high-rise garden utopia, emphasizing a genuine harmony between man-made structures and its natural surroundings. A decade ago, I left my home in Beijing, where the rapid transformation of the urban landscape dramatically reshaped the city and people’s lives, and I came to America to begin an immigrant’s journey—migrating from the west coast to the east coast, and from the east coast to the Midwest. To afar the water flows is both a visual diary of this journey and a loving portrait of American cities.
