Nuo Yang

Nuo Yang (b. 1999, Xinyang, China) is a Chinese artist based in London and Shanghai. Her work has been exhibited at the Old Waiting Room (London), AVA (Ljubljana), and The Half Space (Changsha).

Working primarily with metal, silicone, and found objects, Yang’s practice explores the afterlives of objects and how everyday traces might evolve into future cultural heritage. By assembling fragments of contemporary manufacturing—materials designed to circulate endlessly and disappear just as quickly—she conducts an archaeology of the present.

For Yang, the translucency and fluidity of material metaphorically echoes the body’s rhythms of absorption and expulsion—mirroring how we consume and dispose. Drawing from an temporal perspective, she asks: as objects pass through our daily lives, how do we confront the emotional residue they leave behind and trace the material histories they carry—of labor, migration, and exchange?
