Back

Yujia Bian (b. 93 Yunnan, CN) is a Berlin-based artist and writer. She is drawn to the question of how things and spaces around us constantly world us back. She often thinks through imagined scenarios, asking how collective fantasies and emotions circulate through bodies, memories, and materials.
