Zhuoyun (Yun) Chen 陳卓韻
works using multiple mediums such as 16mm analog film, digital video, computer generated imagery, ceramics, and metal. Her projects often examine the political and social aspects of historical events in modern China, providing an intimate look at their emotional and psychological impact on individuals across generations.

Originally a resident of China, Yun now lives and works in Los Angeles.
