Xinyu Wo Interviewed By New York Lounge

The New York Lounge conducted an interview with Xinyu Wo, a collaborative artist at the VillageOneArt. During the interview, she candidly shared her invaluable experience and insights as a full-time artist living and working in New York.

Xinyu Wo’s works revolve around the concern of the spiritual connection between individuals in the modern world. In her art pieces, she intertwines the collective unconscious with personal history and employs surrealism to allude to some worrisome social situations.

She draws inspiration from the images and sounds in people’s dreams. The individual and collective subconscious of people often manifest in their sleep, seemingly unrelated, but in reality, derived from their real thoughts in daily life. She likes to extract these dream elements, be it words, images, or sounds, and then combines them with specific themes to create an allegorical visual language, allowing the audience to communicate in this surreal dream.

Her works usually take the form of short videos, which combine visual language and auditory effects, telling a story at a certain pace. In these stories, the audience is like a creature in a five-dimensional space. They watch the stories on different timelines, and they can choose to view the images from different angles at different time points and generate different dialogues, which is the charm of video for her.
