This is the public profile of Yu Shen, Additional information and high-resolution images are available for accredited press members, to access additional information about Yu Shen please login as a press member.My cultural background lets me contemplate the idea of the body, self, gender, in relation to space, position within the context of power, current events, history, politics, lifestyles, social issues, and defining them for the individual and the collective.
I interested in the relationship between individual and society; personal value and identity recognition exist in the different cultural background.
I am researching the way of using artwork to communicate within multiple cultures. I believe artwork is a universal language, transfer meaning and concepts without translation but get the deeply understanding from the audiences, even they have different cultural background.
