丁澪是一位独立艺术创作者、导演与写作者,获英国皇家艺术学院当代艺术实践与信息体验设计双硕士学位,目前生活工作于上海和伦敦。
丁澪的作品关注真实而流动的生命感受幻化出的情感张力,涵盖影像、录像艺术、行为表演、剧场、装置等以时基媒体(Time-based Media)为核心表现形式的艺术实践与研究。其作品常从文字与光影出发,将自然元素隐喻到生命体验,建立记忆的遗留空间;或以身体为媒介探讨事件的过程,常展现出非特定地缘(Non-site-specific)景观中的行走,游离与不安、失落与消逝、沉重与轻盈、脆弱与韧性在非线性叙事(Non-Linear Narrative)中的诗意对抗。她有时也以艺术家策展(artist-curated exhibition)的形式展开活动。
丁澪作品曾展出于伦敦Tate Modern泰特现代美术馆、先锋实验音乐场地Iklectik Lab、阿那亚戏剧节候鸟300(伦敦)、新青年实验艺术双年展、上海西岸大剧院及国际多地知名画廊等;获选2025年度Al-Tiba9国际当代艺术家名录;作品在英国皇家艺术学院当代艺术实践年鉴中出版。
DING LING 丁澪 is an independent artist, director and writer, with a double masters degree in Contemporary Art Practice and Information Experience Design from the Royal College of Art, currently based in Shanghai and London.
Ding's work focuses on the emotional tension evoked by the authentic and fluid experiences of life. Her artistic practice and research encompass Time-based Media, including film, video art, performance, theatre, installation, etc. Her works often begin with text and light, using natural elements as metaphors for life experiences, creating spaces that preserve the traces of memory. Alternatively, she explores the process of events through the body as a medium, frequently portraying walking in Non-site-specific landscapes. These works express themes of wandering and unease, loss and fade, heaviness and lightness, fragility and resilience in poetic opposition within Non-linear Narratives. Sometimes she also engages in activities through Artist-curated Exhibitions.
Ding’s works have been exhibited at the Tate Modern, London; Pioneer sound venue Iklectik Lab; Aranya Theatre Festival; New Youth Experimental Art Biennale; Shanghai Westbund Theatre and many renowned international galleries. She was selected for the 2025 Al-Tiba9 Directory for International Contemporary Artists; her work has been published in publications including the RCA Contemporary Art Practice Yearbook.
