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).
