Yuge Zhou is an experimental video artist and filmmaker. Her work explores themes of migration, difference, and displacement, utilizing the graphic composition of the artist’s media. Exploring places that change as relating to human behavior, nationality, and political difference, she captures these ordinary spaces that become consequential, or reflective of realities.
when the East of the day meets the West of the night places two recordings of the setting and rising of the sun from opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean atop one another. Zhou was raised in China but traveled to the US to study computer science and later attended SAIC.
