Yu Shuk Pui Bobby
is a visual artist and filmmaker 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 body politics and the future are created by the media of video, text, installation, sculpture, and performance.
Her project “Genetic Salon” 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 intertwining semi-fictional narratives, she describe memory and experiences of 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, Hong Kong Museum of Medical Sciences, Tomorrow Maybe Gallery, EC Gallery (Hong Kong);Kunstnernes Hus, Galleri BOA, Podium, K4 Gallery, QB 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及電影工作者，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。
她的項目《基因沙龍》運用投機小說的手法，重新構思人類基因工程對於性別、身體和身份歷史話語的觀念。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。透過交織半虛構的敘事，她描述了記憶和身份認同的體驗。
