叶浥｜Ye Yi
Ye Yi is an artist, independent researcher, and writer. Working across photography, moving image, writing, field research, and publishing, she examines how people are defined and reduced through everyday practices of looking, classifying, and recording. Beginning with bodily gestures, forms of labour, and material traces, she attends to experiences that exceed categories of occupation, gender, bodily form, or ethnic identity.
Rooted in independent publishing and art book fairs across East Asia, Ye’s practice has expanded into public conversations, workshops, and collaborative projects. She approaches artistic practice through research, editing, and reconfiguration, bringing overlooked experiences, labour, and memory into new relations. At its ethical centre is the dignity and irreducibility of a person.
Her long-term research is grounded in local communities, vernacular practices, and women’s experiences in Southwest China. She focuses on situated and embodied forms of knowledge beyond dominant writing systems and formal archives, examining how they are transmitted through everyday practice, oral accounts, and material experience. She develops visual archives that ask what becomes visible, what remains unrecorded, and how ways of seeing shape cultural memory.
叶浥，艺术家、独立研究者及写作者，出生于云南昆明。
其创作涵盖图像、影像、装置、田野工作与出版实践，关注劳动制度、身体规范和知识分类如何塑造并简化个体，以及个体经验如何在单一身份或功能之外的关系与具身知识中持续展开。在其工作中，图像与影像既是辨认被忽视之物、保存状态的方法，也是使非文本经验获得公共形态的媒介。
叶浥的实践始于独立出版及东亚地区的艺术书展，随后拓展至公共对话、工作坊与合作项目。她将艺术实践理解为一种持续的研究、编辑与重新组织，通过图像、书写和出版，为被忽略的经验、劳动与记忆建立新的关联。贯穿其工作的伦理轴线是人的不可定义，即一个人无法被其劳动效率、身体形态、性别角色、族群身份、社会位置或数据画像完全定义。
其长期研究围绕照护、劳动形式及具身经验展开。以中国西南地区的地方社群、民俗实践与女性经验为重要现场，研究关注主流书写系统与正式档案之外的地方性、具身性与民间知识，考察这些知识如何通过身体实践、日常劳动、口述和材料经验得到保存与传递，并借由视觉档案追问什么得以被看见和记录，以及观看方式如何参与文化记忆的形成。
