Fluid, floating, and rooting adventitiously. Between the tenderness and unease of being, dancing; her body of work constructs a reverie for new imaginaries of the everyday, rippling with longing, searching for kinship. She was trained and practiced as an architect with a master of architecture from MIT. She is now an independent filmmaker.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"film-list\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/2024\/images\/Z01_cocoon.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<div><span>Mainland China + UK<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Cocoon<\/h2>\n<h3>Yiwei CHEN \/ digital \/ 5 min \/ 2024<\/h3>\n<p>Filled with signs that evoke some distant memory.

A breathtaking sense of bleakness pervades the entire work. Two women who seem like each other&#8217;s alter egos.
