EVELYN XINYI HU 胡心依


Evelyn Xinyi Hu(b.2002), she is an artist working across China, the UK, and South Korea. She consistently employs walking as a methodological approach for interdisciplinary research and artistic practice. Integrating painting, installation, moving image, and site-specific inquiry, her work delves into charged sites such as war remnants and natural-cultural heritage landscapes, uncovering the layered histories beneath contemporary appearances of peace.

Currently, her practice focuses on the Thames River and the lingering energies and perceptual traces of past wars embedded in present-day landscapes. Through techniques such as counter-mapping, she seeks to deconstruct anthropocentric historical narratives and transform personal reflections into responses to broader systemic conditions.

胡心依作为艺术家创作于中国、英国、韩国。她始终以“步行”为方法论进行跨学科研究和创作,她结合绘画、装置、影像与在地性研究,深入战争遗骸、自然文化遗产等特殊地点,挖掘现今和平表象之下的复杂历史。

目前她特别关注泰晤士河与既往战争在当下地景中所留存的能量与感知痕迹,使用“反制图” 等方式尝试剖析“人类中心化”的历史,将个人反思成果转化为对更大系统的回应。

Tracing the snow

Photography
2024

Jeju, South Korea
Theses photos were taken during a hike on Jeju Island, as I attempted to follow the traces of snow. From above, the landscape appeared covered in white; yet upon arrival, it had transformed into a marsh. This temporal shift revealed the quiet power of natural processes—unfolding beyond human control or perception. Through these images, I explore how time, landscape, and memory entangle in fleeting, material traces.

这些照片拍摄于我在济州岛的一次徒步过程中,当时我正试图追寻雪的踪迹。从高处望去,大地被白雪覆盖;然而当我抵达时,它却已悄然转变为一片沼泽。这种时间性的转变揭示了自然过程那种静默而强大的力量——它的展开超越了人类的控制与感知。通过这些图像,我试图探讨时间、地景与记忆如何在短暂而具体的痕迹中彼此缠绕。
