"Where Silence Wields the Night" A Solo Exhibition by Angel Yu

𖦹 About Angel Yu: "Originally from Hong Kong, On Ting Angel Yu explores the human body through diverse materials and technologies, including wax, ink, AI, and machine learning. Constantly experimenting with new mediums, she pushes the boundaries of how the body can be represented, “folded,” and “unfolded.” Her work addresses bodily representation, historical and religious contexts, objectification, and introspection." 𖦹 Message from the artist: "I bring myself into the work—both as subject and material. My practice explores the complexity and multiplicity of the human form, presenting the body in various manifestations to evoke the experience of witnessing it anew. I investigate the transformation of identity across physical and digital realms, revealing parts of the self that often remain obscured in material existence. Through this lens, technology becomes a tool for reimagining the body, identity, and the shifting boundaries between human and machine. My work moves in two directions: one grounded in physical reality, where I use my body to examine its relationship with materiality; the other in virtual space, where I construct a digital self through images and data drawn from my own physical presence. Central to this exploration is the question: Does this digital self still count as my body? Can identity persist through fragmented, non-linear perspectives, as we collectively float in a disembodied digital world without ever touching the ground? I am particularly interested in the tension between human rationality and technological disruption—how artificial intelligence mirrors, mimics, and destabilizes human experience. In navigating these tensions, I consider how technology can both expose and reconfigure identity, ultimately reframing our understanding of what it means to be embodied in an increasingly virtual age."
