Redjade Yuan

I explore psychogeographical symphonies within everyday life through dealing with the boundary line between the personal imagination and the social environment. Here, I seek to enhance the experience of the everyday through reanimating the urban environment, so as to open up a space for the unseen to be made visible.

My work intends to suggest a point of view, through which I am able to elevate a sense of beauty and profundity in a meaningful, but approachable manner. Deep, personal and philosophical reflections upon life are thus coupled with a playfulness and ordinariness. Through this approach, I seek to elevate our consciousness towards everyday life, especially with regard to "small things", which we so often take for granted. The mysterious flows through the highest of mountains, and the lowest of valleys. Treating the physical act of making my work as a means of mapping my ideas and inquiries, the mediums I utilise within my practice are used to record traces, in an attempt to make psychological reflections upon the world tangible.

I work in multimedia including performance, video, installation, sculpture, photography and print. I am from Beijing and have been living and studying in UK since 2009.
