Siru Wen

Siru Wen (China/U.S.) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice moves through installation, film, and photography as she meditates on the meanings, energies, and sentiments that flow or pause between space and time, exploring how time sculpts spaces and beings and how spaces and beings disclose time. In creating, Siru returns to mindfulness, building spaces that allow for deep listening, observing, and being. She often turns towards reducing and giving attention to the mundane.

Siru has shown her work at Sheffield DocFest, UK; A.I.R. Gallery, NY; 18th Street Arts Center, CA; The Chilean Corporation of Video and Electronic Arts, Santiago, Chile; B3 Biennial of the Moving Image, Germany; and others. She was an artist in residence at Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, MASS MoCA, and so on.

At Rupert, Siru is experimenting with her film 重复, 经过 A Space of Passing, where she observes the daily happenings of routine action and work that unfolds in the backlot of a hotel in China, where bodies are in motion; commuting, carrying, walking, running, cleaning, waiting, resting or conversing.
