Yundi Wang (1998) is a Melbourne/Naarm based visual artist. She articulates her experience in societal norms, morality, and interpersonal relationships through making art. These artworks are usually presented as videos, sounds, performances, writing, sculptural objects and photographs.

When making videos, Yundi composes footage through observation; observing the accidents in the playing (with footage); playing as manipulating them through a process of digital cut and paste, collaging, and using metaphor. Yundi collaborates with others in order to learn, fight, and grow together.

Yundi has contributed to several exhibitions, including Not a Musical with Evelyn Pohl, George Paton Gallery (2020) ‘Falling back to’, Blindside Satellite, ‘Blank Space Narration’ (2021), a performance with Echo Li, Das Boot Art Fair (2022) (no subject), one-channel video, screening at BusXComposite screen program (2022).
