Chen Zhe, born in 1989 in Beijing, is an artist whose practice spans photography, video, mixed media, and installation. Her work is deeply experimental, conceptual, and symbolic, consistently exploring themes of the body, memory and time, life, emotion, and identity. Early in her career, she focused on photography to probe the inner worlds of herself and others, often through acts of self-harm as a form of spiritual purification. Over time, her practice has expanded into tactile, sculptural installations.
**Representative works include:**
- *Star-Bone Instruments: Nine-String Angular Zither* (2023), made of brass, aluminum, and stainless steel wire.

**Creative style:**
Chen Zhe’s work fuses poetic symbolism with precise material experimentation. She often constructs meticulously crafted objects that resemble scientific or astronomical instruments, yet are imbued with emotional and bodily metaphors. Her visual language bridges inner psychological landscapes and cosmic order, creating a space where personal trauma and universal structures coexist. She has received several notable awards, including the Inge Morath Award from Magnum Foundation (2011), the Three Shadows Photography Award (2011), the Lianzhou Photography Festival New Photography Award (2011), and the Flash Forward Emerging Photographer Award (2012). Her works are held in institutional and private collections and have been exhibited internationally at venues such as the Unseen Photo Festival, University of Toronto Art Centre, Fotohof Gallery, UCCA, CAFA Art Museum, and Three Shadows Photography Art Centre.
