何琛瑶
Eva Chenyao He (b. 2001, Shenzhen, China) is an interdisciplinary artist based in Shenzhen and New York. Having studied in the United States since high school, she received her BFA with a minor in Interdisciplinary Study from The Cooper Union in 2025, following a 2023 exchange program at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in the Netherlands. Focused on the anatomy of “Quiet Violence”, her practice spans sculpture, installation, performance, and video. Her work often operates “under the radar”, tearing cracks in the smooth logic of reality and constructing systems that appear benign yet are fundamentally self-consuming. She situates the body at the nexus of globalized discipline and the production of simulacra, investigating how the individual is structurally pruned into fuel and components for the system. In her practice, simulation and replication transcend mere methodology to become a form of quietly emergent structural violence, where the body serves as both a standardized model and a residual trace. Within the tension between the tender and the procedural, the cyclical and the exhaustive, her work reflects a contemporary condition in which meaning erodes through infinite reproduction and the self is quietly absorbed into the machinery of simulation.
何琛瑶，2001年出生于中国深圳，目前生活和工作于深圳和纽约。自高中起赴美求学，2025年毕业于于美国库伯联盟学院纯艺专业，辅修跨学科研究，曾在荷兰里特维尔德学院交换学习。 根植于对“安静暴力” 的剖析，她的实践涵盖雕塑、装置、行为与影像等多种媒介。其作品常在雷达之下运作，在平滑顺滑的现实中撕开逻辑的裂缝，构建了一系列看似温和、实则不断自我损耗的运作系统。何琛瑶将身体置于全球化规训与拟像生成的交界处，探讨个体如何被结构性地修剪为系统的燃料与零件。在她的实践中，模拟与复制不仅是媒介手段，更是一种悄然生成的结构性暴力，使身体在成为标准模型的同时沦为系统残留。作品在温柔与程序化、循环与消耗的张力中，呈现了当代主体被系统吸纳、意义在无尽复制中逐渐消解的生存状态。
