BIO

Xinyue Tao (b.1998, Kunming, China) is a London-based artist whose practice explores the subjective perception of time and space through self-identity, memory, and the unconscious. Guided by intuition, her work is primarily rooted in photography, while also extending into performance, installation, and experimental forms. She engages deeply with darkroom printing and alternative photographic processes, integrating light-sensitive materials and slow, embodied methods into her image-making. Tao also embraces collaboration as a working method, co-creating interdisciplinary works and initiating community-based workshops that foster dialogue, shared experiences, and connections. She is dedicated to creating fields of resonance where deep connections can emerge through artistic engagement.
