Yin-Ju Chen interprets social power and history through cosmological systems. Utilizing astrology, sacred geometry, and alchemical symbols, she explores human behavior, nationalism, imperialism, state violence, totalitarianism, utopian formations, and collective thinking. More recently, she has been exploring the material effects of spiritual, shamanic, and Buddhist practices, as well as the metaphysical potentialities of consciousness. Her work has been featured in international exhibitions and film festivals including the Shanghai Biennale, the Taipei Biennial, the Gwangju Biennial, the Liverpool Biennial, the Biennale of Sydney, the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art, and the International Film Festival Rotterdam.
