天琦对将概念摄影和纪实摄影的语言融合在一起,以一种审视的视角定位平凡事物非常感兴趣。她的作品旨在提取看似平凡的瞬间,将其放大到荒谬的程度。在她的摄影系列中,她提供了反思性的呈现,探讨了永恒与短暂、现实与理想化之间的相互作用,并以哲学探究为基础。
Tianqi is interested in blending the languages of conceptual and documentary photography to position banality within a lens of scrutiny. Her work seeks to extract seemingly mundane moments to amplify them into absurdity. In her photographic series, she offers reflective presentations that interrogate the interplay between permanence and transience, as well as reality and idealization, underpinned by philosophical inquiries.

Tianqi is a visual artist with a Master of Arts in Arts Administration from Columbia University. As a photographer, she is intrigued by conversations that arise from the friction between societal norms and individual perceptions. Through her lens, Tianqi captures the subtle tensions and overt contradictions present in everyday life, employing a critical eye to examine themes of conformity, resistance, and the spaces between. This approach allows her to highlight the complex dynamics of societal structures and their impact on personal experiences, inviting viewers to question and reconsider their own viewpoints and the world around them.
Adjacent to her artistic endeavors, Tianqi’s professional experience spans several arts and cultural organizations, including the Bronx Documentary Center, David Zwirner, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Center for Architecture. With a deep interest in photography, she aims to stimulate conversations through lens-based practices and to create platforms for dialogue and development for a variety of artistic talent.
