Yu Shuk Pui Bobby
is a visual artist who now based in Hong Kong and Oslo. Bobby’s practice is focused on building intimate relationships and collaborations, where physical, tangible and affective phenomena associated with biotechnology and the future are created by the media of video, text, installation, sculpture, and performance. She often use speculative fiction within the themes of human genetic engineering to refigure perceptions towards gender, body and historical discourses of identity.
In recent years, Bobby has started to work on video making with different communities as a means of exploring identity construction in various cultural contexts and collective aspects. Through realizing fictional narratives, she describe real experiences of desire and identification.
Bobby received a BA from Hong Kong Baptist University and MFA at Oslo National Academy of Fine Art. She has exhibited her works at Parasite, 100ft. Gallery, starprojects, 1a Space, Tomorrow Maybe Gallery, EC Gallery (Hong Kong);Kunstnernes Hus, Galleri BOA, Podium, K4 Gallery(Oslo); A Place Gallery & Studios (Florida); Youkobo Art Space Gallery (Tokyo); Swatch Art Peach Hotel (Shanghai); Listhus Gallery (Iceland).
余淑培是一位視覺藝術工作者，現居香港和奧斯陸。 余氏專注於建立親密的關係和合作，通過短片、文本、裝置、雕塑和表演等媒體創造與生物技術和未來相關的物理、有形和情感現象。她通常在人類基因工程的主題中使用投機小說來重新塑造對性別、身體和歷史身份話語的看法。
近年來，余氏致力於與香港奧斯陸兩邊之間不同的社群製作短片，以探索不同文化背景和集體方面的身份構建的一種手段。通過實現虛構的敘事，她嘗試描述了慾望和身份的真實體驗。
余淑培獲得香港浸會大學學士學位和奧斯陸國立美術學院藝術碩士學位。她曾在香港及歐洲各地展出她的作品。 Para-site，百尺公園， starprojects空間，1a空間，Tomorrow Maybe藝術空間, EC畫廊（香港）；Kunstnernes Hus， Galleri BOA， Podium，K4 Gallery（奧斯陸）； A Place Gallery & Studios（佛羅里達州）； Youkobo藝術空間畫廊（東京）；和平飯店藝術中心（上海）； Listhus 畫廊（冰島）。
