Jenny Jiani Wang is a Beijing-born visual artist, writer, and producer whose work spans writing, film, and multimedia installations.
She is drawn to exploring the causes of things.
The disguised and unspoken.
The sensual and emotional undercurrents beneath material, bureaucratic, and systemic surfaces.
She seeks to understand how personal emotions and private moments reverberate within histories and structures beyond individual experience.
