Yu Ji

Yu Ji began her sculpture series Flesh in Stone in 2012. The cement sculptures show fragmented parts of human bodies—arms, legs, and torsos. Through these works, she explores the human form, and how it is impacted by the passage of time, through experimenting with materials and scale.

Refined still life No.7 is a silkscreen print on a curved stainless-steel sheet, clamped to the wall in the shape of a rolled-up cylinder. The image comes from Yu Ji’s studio and shows stacked fragments of her sculptures.

Alongside sculpture, Yu Ji also works with video, performance, and installation, often responding to specific locations by exploring their histories and environments.
