Chai Mi

Chai Mi (b. 1985) graduated from the Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University. Her artistic practice integrates moving images, photography, painting, installation, text, and performance, continuously exploring the hidden relationships in everyday life through the lens of personal identity and experience. Her work reveals the ambiguity and fluidity within these connections, often blurring the boundaries between humans and other species to examine possibilities of hybrid or symbiotic existence.

Chai Mi’s recent exhibitions include: The Stars Outshine the Moon, Gallery Where, Beijing, CN (2024); 22nd Donggang International Photo Festival, Donggang Museum of Photography, Seoul, KR (2024); “Unfinished” Chinese Contemporary Photography Exhibition, Chengdu Art Museum, Chengdu, CN (2023); Diriyah Biennale: Feeling the Stones, Experimental Preservation” Unit, Diriyah JAX Art District, SA (2021).

Recently, she received the Jin Hongwei Collection Award at the Three Shadows Photography Awards, and her video work “1993-1994” is collected by the Ministry of Culture (MOC) of Saudi Arabia.
