Yingzi Guo (Vesper) makes videos and interactive work about the moments when stories fall apart or refuse to settle into one form.

​

She's interested in what happens when narratives glitch, where the clues in the half-formed scenes, the delays, the gaps open up as we try to pin down an experience. Her work invites people into these uncertain moments through video, interactive interfaces, and language-based motion. She likes working with the blurry line between watching and being watched, creating situations where presence and projection overlap and show how shaky the ground is under all our attempts at meaning-making.

 

Vesper has a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2020) and an MPS from NYU's ITP program (2023).
