Qiu Zhijie

Qiu Zhijie

Qiu Zhijie (邱志傑; born 1969) is a contemporary Chinese artist who works primarily in video and photography. Overall, Qiu Zhijie's work suggests the struggle between the forces of destiny and self-assertion. Other common themes are social fragmentation and transience.

Zhijie was born in 1969 in Fujian province. In 1992, he graduated from Zhejiang Academy of Fine Arts, Hangzhou. He now lives and works in Beijing.

The artist's break-through exhibition was in 1992 with "China's New Art, Post-1989" at the Hanart Gallery and Hong Kong Arts Centre. By 1999, his work began receiving overseas interest with his inclusion in "Revolutionary Capitals: Beijing-London" at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London.

In 2005, his work was exhibited in the Victoria and Albert Museum's "Between Past And Future: New Photography And Video From China", including "Tattoo 1", which explores Qiu Zhijie's assertion that in our media-saturated age, "signs and codes have overpowered actual human beings, and our bodies have become merely their vehicles." The character bu — meaning "no" — is written across the artist's body and on the wall behind him, creating the illusion that it floats free of the body.
