Jiang Yunshan (Jiang Jiang, b. 1990) is a multidisciplinary artist and photographer based in Kaili and Hangzhou. A graduate of the Royal College of Art (Contemporary Art), her work spans photography, video, installation, and printmaking, with a focus on the blurring of subjectivity, the erasure and substitution of marginal identities, and the misalignment and migration of individuals within structural systems.
With a decade of experience in commercial photography and production, Jiang Jiang demonstrates acute sensitivity to image-making, modes of seeing, and visual materiality, skillfully creating tension between control and unpredictability. Her artistic practice is deeply rooted in her upbringing in the industrialized context of Northeast China, where her fascination with machinery and technical systems has led to ongoing explorations of the shifting relationships between humans and machines, environment and space.
Through an internal negotiation between media, theory, and everyday logic, she transforms structural contradictions into visual language, using black humor and perceptual ruptures to construct liminal states of viewing, positioning, and existence. Jiang Jiang is committed to developing a non-centralized artistic position that resists singular meanings, instead generating delay, hesitation, and new possibilities for reflection through her boundary-crossing practice.
