Ziyi Qiu

Qiu Ziyi, born in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, in 2001, is a cross-media artist. She obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Public Art Education from the China Academy of Art in 2023 and is currently pursuing an MFA at the Glasgow School of Art in 2024. Through installations, moving images and sound, Qiu Ziyi’s work explores the conditions of existence in the real world and the latent connections between humans and their environment.
“Studying, living and travelling in different cities and countries, these trans-regional experiences have gradually led me to reflect on my own identity: I seem not to be a single individual, but rather a composite entity shaped by cultural fusion, political influences and local traditions. I have gradually come to realise that whilst people transform their environment, they are also constantly being shaped by it. In the process of exploring this interdependent relationship, I am still searching for traces of my own existence. — Qiu Ziyi
