Jiayue Wang is a London-based artist born in China. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Media, Communication and Cultural Studies from Newcastle University and a Master of Arts in Film Studies from University College London (UCL).

Jiayue works with experimental moving image, photography, and intermedia art. Her practice is rooted in the experience of living between cultures, examining how identity, belonging, and memory are formed, unsettled, and remade across cultural boundaries. Working through physical collage, layered image-making, and spatial sound, she constructs environments where documentary and invented imagery coexist, holding open the space between what is remembered and what has already begun to disappear.

Jiayue has been developing her practice since 2019. Her work has been shown internationally across the UK, USA, China, and Greece, at venues including the Glasgow Gallery of Photography and Rugby Art Gallery and Museum, where she held her first solo museum exhibition. She has been featured in Artron.net and Visual Art Journal.

I work with photographs that have already been taken, pulling them apart, layering them over one another, letting one image bleed into the next. What interests me is what happens in that process: where a building becomes a current of water, where a document becomes something closer to weather. I use sound and space to extend this, building environments where images are not fixed but ongoing.

I have lived between two places for most of my adult life. I don't think of this directly when I'm working, but it is there, in the way I handle images, in what I choose to keep and what I allow to go. A photograph taken in one place looks different when you are somewhere else. Memory behaves the same way.
