Yimou Huang

Yimou Huang’s practice-based PhD at the University of Dundee explores the divergent influences of Chinese Taoism and Western Eco-Feminist thought on contemporary global art. It centers on the material aspects of dynamic forces, such as gravity, wind, and erosion. Yimou is particularly interested in transformational processes and their relation to traditional Chinese views on matter (such as stone, clay, and wood); the Taoist notion of emptiness and action-through- inaction; and Eco-Feminist approaches to process, duration, materiality, action, identity, interpenetration and more-than-human community.  

Yimou’s multi-medial work includes sculptural, site-specific, analogue and digital approaches and employs a cross-cultural methodology. Systematically comparing Taoist and Eco-Feminist perspectives, philosophies and methods, the work examines the impact of these perspectives, philosophies and methods on contemporary artistic practices, Yimou’s own practice included, with a particular focus on mediality, temporality and situated-ness.
