Wei Zhou
Artist
Filmmaker
Wei Zhou (b. 1993, she/they) is a Chinese filmmaker and artist based in Glasgow. Working primarily with moving image and text, she explores sensory perception, embodiment, and shape-shifting stories through personal, auto-ethnographic methods. Her practice investigates the fluid boundaries between the body, language, and the image, with a particular focus on eroticism and the non-human. Her projects have been screened and exhibited at the Intermedia Gallery Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA), Glasgow Project Room, Summerhall Arts, Xiezilong Photography Museum as well as through collaborations with LUX Scotland, Queer East Festival, Glasgow International, Beijing Queer Film Festival and SQIFF. Wei’s academic background includes an MFA from the Glasgow School of Art and an MSc Filmmaking and Media Arts from the University of Glasgow. She is currently pursuing a practice-based PhD at the University of Edinburgh, where her research focuses on shape-shifting through moving image practices.
