Yang Yu’s work focuses on things abandoned by social processes—whether marginalized human conditions, ruins, technological relics, cultural remnants, or micro-histories left incomplete. Instead of mourning their disappearance, she seeks new meanings among these fragments, enabling their regeneration in the present. Through video, text, installations, and interactive works, she amplifies subtle details—a piece of fabric, a discarded receipt—each potentially revealing structural fissures and forming narratives that are incomplete yet charged with tension.

​

Her creative approach integrates personal experiences, research, narrative writing, and cross-media practices, extending individual fractures into deeper social textures. Her images and texts continually deconstruct and reconstruct reality, blurring its boundaries. Fiction in her work is not a means of escape but rather an expansion of reality, making visible what has been obscured. By rearranging and reconstructing instead of merely documenting, she exposes hidden layers within overlooked subjects.

​

Yang’s work generates an experience that is both familiar and strange, weaving together visual softness with conceptual sharpness. This combination allows viewers to feel tenderness, poignancy, sadness, and confusion simultaneously. This complex emotional engagement evokes unspeakable feelings, transforming viewing into an active, participatory, and evolving process. She intentionally showcases states of incompletion and ongoing transformation, where ruins emerge as a continual site of regeneration.
