About the Artist
Tianjiao Wang works with photography, film, video, and installations to acknowledge the presence of things. She believes that to see something is to study it, develop an affinity for it, and attempt to understand it. Through photographing and filming, she anticipates drawing others closer while keeping them perpetually within the realm of the other, without crossing boundaries, encroaching, or fusing.
She obtained her MFA from the University of Chicago in 2024 and was a resident artist at the Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts in 2023. Wang has received various forms of support, including the University of Chicago Scholarship Fellowship and the Fire Escape Films Independent Project Grant. In 2022, she self-published an artist photo book titled “Yanqing, through the Veil” and held her first solo exhibition “In Theory, it is Feasible” in Shanghai, China. She was selected for a Teaching Fellowship at the University of Chicago for the 2024-2025 academic year.
