Biyi Zhu (1988) is a Chinese born, Amsterdam based filmmaker, visual investigator and interdisciplinary designer. Shegraduated from the School of Art Multimedia Design at the University of the Macao Polytechnic Institute. In 2017, she completed her academic studies in the master’s program Design at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.

Her interest lies in time-based media, with which she tries to organise a visual language by combining documentaries and her video art. Her research methods are based on a performative camera device that engages with bodies and objects travelling in space. In her artistic practice, she’s always interested in movement, identity and the relationship between the individual’s state and changes in a political environment. She seeks to establish a visual way of thinking to connect with her political and metaphorical thoughts.

Biyi works on self-initiated projects and is in commission for cultural institutions, festivals and design studios, whichhave been exhibited in China, Netherlands and Germany.

She has been a grantee by the Amsterdam Font voor Kunst and developed a self-portrayed documentary film – Zokejaar– A Year of Searching about how non-EU high educated graduates explore their struggles and dilemmas of finding a way through the Dutch landscape in hopes of resulting in a residency stay.

出生於中國，現居荷蘭阿姆斯特丹的影片創作人、視覺研究員和跨學科設計師。她畢業于澳門理工大學藝術多媒體錄影設計專業。並在2017年獲得了阿姆斯特丹桑德伯格學院設計碩士學位。

她的研究方向主要專注于時基媒體藝術。她嘗試把視頻藝術實驗性視角與紀錄片相結合，並以此來建立一種獨特的視覺溝通語言。她創作出能與身體或物件相結合的移動攝像裝置，並使用它們在不同的空間進行穿梭和拍攝，以此對移動、身份、個人狀態與政治環境變化之間的關係進行討論。希望通過建立一種視覺思考的方式，將她對政治隱喻的想法相連結。
