Taiwan-born artist John Yuyi grew up immersed in the post-Internet generation, and this experience deeply informed her artistic practice. Often seen as a leading interdisciplinary voice in art, fashion, and social media, Yuyi's work frequently delves into millennial depictions of the female body, alongside her keen ability to explore, harness, and reflect on the impact of social media. Since the summer of 2022, Yuyi's been living a nomadic lifestyle, constantly subletting different places. She thought it’d be fun to document all the homes she stayed in, so she decided to take a POV photo every day last year — but gave up after a month. What remains is a fragmented yet intimate diary—part travelogue, part self-portrait—capturing glimpses of ceilings, microwaves, toilet bowls, and cats. POV is both a record of where Yuyi’s body was, and a meditation on where her mind wandered. Yuyi frequently engages with mass media iconography, using her own body as a projection surface to explore themes of self-identity and the economics of identity.
