Yiding Chen

Natural Born Left-Handed Killer (2025)

Yiding Chen works between image-making and installation. His practice examines how images function as systems of control and perception, focusing on bodily gestures and visual structures. Through cutting and giving form to images, he transforms photography from representation into an active system that reflects the instability between documentation and construction. In Natural Born Left-Handed Killer, he draws on archival and forensic materials to explore how left-handedness was historically misread as criminality. The staged photographs, bodily close-ups and reconstructed diagrams question how visual systems construct and enforce dominant narratives.
