Qianyu(b.2000) is a multidisciplinary artist who started practicing in China and moved to Chicago for further study. She did her BFA at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently an MFA candidate at the University of Chicago.

She uses photography, sculpture, installation, and film to explore themes about home, identity, and the perception of truth in social-political content. Qianyu’s present work seeks to grasp how living in different cultural contexts affects her awareness of truth by joining objects with replicas to question the absurdity of contemporary human existence.
