Ying Chen
Ying Chen, born in Taiwan in 1990, is currently studying at the Berlin University of the Arts.
Through multiple media, including new media, installation, and video, Ying’s early works are concerned with the relationship between media, communication tools, emotions and human consciousness.
After gradually recovering from social anxiety, her direction has shifted to the interrelationship between personal emotions and nature. Recently, she has been attempting to collaborate with non-human beings and explore the possibility of coexisting with all beings in the universe from within.
