Exhibitions Yanbin Zhao

February 12 - March 12, 2025 Project Space Studio

    let me tell you a secret, Yanbin Zhao, 2023, 4:31, 16mm.
  • Project Space Residency

    Zhao Yanbin’s film and installation works focus on the interpretation of “distance” in the sense of temporality and spatiality, as well as the ruptures and relations it creates on the historical, political, cultural, and personal level. Through a variety of forms including 16mm experimental film, video installation, performance, photography, and mixed media, his reflections on themes such as labour, memory, and diaspora attempt to explore the possibility in translating and materializing the intangible, leading to a kind of conjuring-like art practice.

    Zhao received an MFA in Film from California Institute of the Arts. He lives in Shanghai and Los Angeles. His works have been shown at Image Forum Festival, Onion City Experimental Film Festival, Beijing International Short Film Festival, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival, among others.


    VSW Project Space Residencies are supported by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the New York State Legislature, Monroe County, and Joy of Giving Something.
