Liu Yujia graduated from Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and obtained her master’s degree from London College of Communication, University of the Arts London. She currently lives and works in Beijing. Liu Yujia’s recent practice engages with moving images. Her video works and films explore the dialectical tension between documentary reality and fiction, examining the complex and mysterious dimensions of subjective experience in different social and political contexts. The artist shoots the “real life” scenes in a documentary way, meanwhile, the intimate and invisible dimension of “real life” could be revealed by her fictional or “fake” figures. Her recent practice reveals the fictional and illusory aspects of social reality, allowing the audience to experience reality as pure fiction.
