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.EDUCATION 教育背景 2024/09-Present&nbsp; Practise-based PhD in Art Edinburgh College of Art 2019/09-2021/06 Master of Fine Art&nbsp;

The projec began with my obsession with the fluorescent green EXIT sign that glows in every movie theatre. This sign is an index of departure that coexists with the projected image. Like Lucio Fontana’s slashes, the EXIT is both disruption and invitation because it reminds us that there is always a portal beyond the frame. From this opening, the work summons the figure of the rat-spirit not just as a characte but as a logic of navigation. Filmed entirely in a pitch-black cinema using a far-infrared camera, the imagery withdraws from the visible spectrum. Bodies register only as residues that are blurred, uneven, and unstable. The performer moves with a rodent-like tactility to sense the world through touch and smell rather than visual domination. The installation unfolds as a series of haunted fragments. A three-channel vide interweaves seemingly unrelated iPhone footage including small openings in daily life, thermal blurs, and ritualistic acts recorded in the aftermath of my grandmother's sudden death and the Ghost Festival in mid-July. These images appear and reappear like phantoms in my mind as a haunting that refuses to settle. This dialogue with the unseen extends to two large-scale textile prints. These image emerged from a skotography (spirit photography) workshop with Shannon Taggart. Created in the darkroom, they document a session where we attempted to summon spirits. In that darkness, it was the rat-spirit I called upon, capturing its trace on the material. The motif of separation takes physical form in two CRT monitors that sit back-to-back. They play a dialogue between my mother and me regarding my caesarean birth. Positioned so the screens cannot face one another, the installation mirrors ou circuitous communication. It operates as a loop of memory and a cut that refuses to close. The sound and voiceover mirror this fragmentation. Resonating with Gloria Anzaldúa’s concept of the wild tongue, the narration refuses to translate. Fractures are deliberately produced, initiating a recursive slippage where languages shadow and fold into one another. Through these fluid shifts, the work shapes a sensory experience wher meaning is held in suspension. Portal refuses to offer a final conclusion. This approach resonates with George Bataille’s vision of death not as an end but as a return to the continuity of being. In this spirit, the work behaves less as a container than as a site of continuous negotiation. It is a passage that keeps opening.

Within the realms of Zhiguai, the boundaries between life and death, the divine and the earthly, and dreams and reality are blurred and intermingled. The idea of Guaiyi is encapsulated by the Chinese terms guai (“怪”), yi (“异”), and qi (“奇”), which represent various shades of strangeness—ranging from the unusual and extraordinary to the bizarre and unsettling. Guaiyi expands the boundaries of eroticism, disregarding societal constraints on sexuality. It revolves around the violation and blurring of set boundaries.&nbsp; &nbsp;(Read more) <img width="4222" height="2374" width_o="4222" height_o="2374" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1ec7a1608c3c20973f81075eaa144d6ddfdc6bb152f1d8469331b09771c869ad/38e9c55208ce97446f809c7bcb0dd630.JPG" data-mid="212700411" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1ec7a1608c3c20973f81075eaa144d6ddfdc6bb152f1d8469331b09771c869ad/38e9c55208ce97446f809c7bcb0dd630.JPG" /> <img width="4240" height="2384" width_o="4240" height_o="2384" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f81b9e1741e1b040cd43fcdc363edf4b5bc2a1476a8bae5cf2798afcc3a76cf3/cd4bc6cea9fb2a533aeb1c2bb1642fcf.JPG" data-mid="212700410" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f81b9e1741e1b040cd43fcdc363edf4b5bc2a1476a8bae5cf2798afcc3a76cf3/cd4bc6cea9fb2a533aeb1c2bb1642fcf.JPG" /> <img width="3684" height="2105" width_o="3684" height_o="2105" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/037ff6456045ed15bb04bf5c6e19095c052d238ecefbb1d02fbcb22709e0d63a/208c3aae931659afa489d74652638b5e.JPG" data-mid="212700400" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/037ff6456045ed15bb04bf5c6e19095c052d238ecefbb1d02fbcb22709e0d63a/208c3aae931659afa489d74652638b5e.JPG" /> https://weizhou.me/There-Is-No-Escape-and-so Tue, 11 Jun 2024 12:58:34 +0000 Wei Zhou https://weizhou.me/There-Is-No-Escape-and-so Still from There Is No Escape (and so...?) as a part of multi-media exhibition In The Name Of The Rose&nbsp; Single channel silent video, 2022, 04:42 mins There Is No Escape (and so...?) In The Name Of The Rose is a multi-media installation exploring the dissection of combined sensory experiences into individual engagements. By isolating each sense and examining it independently, the work amplifies our sensory perception. Through the brain’s nonlinear editing process, these fragmented experiences are reassembled into a continuous timeline, creating layered and fluid narratives. This exhibition delves into the intricate relationship between the singular self and the collective self, particularly within the orientalist gaze. It offers both a critique and an appreciation of the aesthetics presented in The Scent of Green Papaya (1993) and The Painted Veil (2006), examining the shifts between dominance and submission in these contexts. The installation weaves together a multi-sensory experience, centered on the artist's given name, 薇 ("rose" in Chinese). It incorporates silent moving-image works, an audio piece, a tactile letter, and the scent of a decaying rose, inviting audiences into a rich narrative interplay that spans sight, sound, touch, and smell. <img width="2880" height="1800" width_o="2880" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cca269f6cff1b4ca2bd9f759fe61b4ae83e8ad766aad4fe8f065ba2b9e70b45b/Screenshot-2022-06-14-at-23.55.15.png" data-mid="212701139" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cca269f6cff1b4ca2bd9f759fe61b4ae83e8ad766aad4fe8f065ba2b9e70b45b/Screenshot-2022-06-14-at-23.55.15.png" /> <img width="2880" height="1620" width_o="2880" height_o="1620" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0e1d8b5a1f13a83d8068f6465fb5e9a41b28ac9e098e86a87a8678403f935d19/2.png" data-mid="212700964" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0e1d8b5a1f13a83d8068f6465fb5e9a41b28ac9e098e86a87a8678403f935d19/2.png" /> <img width="2880" height="1620" width_o="2880" height_o="1620" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/79c98c9661dcc49f21f152d9a6dae16089cefa4d1f7bd425c06f3c3895b8fa61/1.png" data-mid="212700965" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/79c98c9661dcc49f21f152d9a6dae16089cefa4d1f7bd425c06f3c3895b8fa61/1.png" /> https://weizhou.me/In-The-Name-Of-The-Rose-1 Tue, 11 Jun 2024 12:58:34 +0000 Wei Zhou https://weizhou.me/In-The-Name-Of-The-Rose-1 1.

By examining them one at a time, our particular sensory experience is heightened. Through the sense-making non-linear editing of our brain, all of these sensuous sensory experiences are sutured together again in a continuous timeline, and different narrations are created. This exhibition attempts to further investigate the relations between the singular self and the collective self in the orientalist gaze, with the shift between dominant and submissive positions. A multi-sensory experience is presented through the narratives surrounding the name 薇 ('rose' in Chinese), silent moving-image works, an audio piece, a long tactile letter and the scent of a rotten rose. <img width="2880" height="1800" width_o="2880" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ca4cc151405427097db115c05ba46276ce7a394c3a0cb11e278f28a2e1ad6449/rose.png" data-mid="212701473" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ca4cc151405427097db115c05ba46276ce7a394c3a0cb11e278f28a2e1ad6449/rose.png" /> <img width="4240" height="2384" width_o="4240" height_o="2384" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5dde4da9e8f083c0c03b2bf59fbe82c9d0c0e37bd04d18e3724cfe7aba5afdea/wei-zho03.jpg" data-mid="212701476" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5dde4da9e8f083c0c03b2bf59fbe82c9d0c0e37bd04d18e3724cfe7aba5afdea/wei-zho03.jpg" /> <img width="4128" height="2747" width_o="4128" height_o="2747" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/441dd9a5a0002f76ae86e76e3671ca5b47a2698540413075acb6ce205005e32b/in-the-name-of-the-rose-24-of-38.jpg" data-mid="212701485" border="0" data-scale="100" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/441dd9a5a0002f76ae86e76e3671ca5b47a2698540413075acb6ce205005e32b/in-the-name-of-the-rose-24-of-38.jpg" /> https://weizhou.me/Resurface Tue, 11 Jun 2024 12:58:35 +0000 Wei Zhou https://weizhou.me/Resurface Stills from the video&nbsp;Resurface Single channel video and stereo sound, 2021, 07:53 mins Resurface Resurface is a work that documents the fragmentation of death anxiety, traumatic memories, pain, love marks, bruises, inscription and transforms them to be pleasurable. Resurface is about the experience of physicalization of the intangible memories and allows them to re-surface as visible marks, be it temporary or permanent. Resurface in order to heal.
