About me
Info
  1. Tianyi is always in either a second-hand shop or on second-hand sale apps where she encounters found objects, images and footage (and she never feels bored). Her love for used/ collected/ found objects originates from, instead of nostalgia, a haunted feeling experienced in the contemporary days as the past has not been shed away while our world keeps moving, or in fact it can never be...

Tianyi Zheng, Tin-e
鄭天依
Hong Kong / Rotterdam,NL.
ztine2013@gmail.com


Tianyi Zheng, Tin-e (1995, Hubei) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Hong Kong and the Netherlands. Working with moving images, installations, found objects, text, and performance, her practice explores the entangled relations between urban space, displacement, memory, and identity in the context of globalization and diaspora. Using hauntology and heterotopology as methods, she investigates how personal and collective memories linger and reconfigure through storytelling and site-based research.

Zheng holds an MFA in Media Art from the Frank Mohr Institute (2021) and a BA in Fine Arts from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (2018). Her work has been exhibited at the Simose Art Museum (Hiroshima, 2025), Art Rotterdam (2025), K11 Art Village (Wuhan, 2024), and Het Wilde Weten (Rotterdam, 2023). She is currently a resident of the Young Arts Tech Talents programme (HKADC, 2024–2025). Zheng is the recipient of the Jan Naaijkens Prize (2022) and has received support from the Mondriaan Fonds, Amarte Fonds, and CBK Rotterdam. She also co-initiated the Wild Art Festival (2017–2020), engaging with public space and artistic community building.

鄭天依（1995年，湖北）是一位跨領域藝術家與研究者，現居於香港與荷蘭。她的創作以影像、裝置、現成物、文本與表演為媒介，關注全球化、遷徙與離散語境下的城市空間、身份轉換與集體記憶。她運用異托邦與幽靈徘徊學（hauntology）的方法，透過故事講述與場域研究，探討個人與文化記憶如何在空間中遺留與重構。

鄭於2021年畢業於荷蘭Frank Mohr Institute，獲媒體藝術碩士學位，2018年畢業於香港中文大學藝術系。她近期參與駐村與展覽包括：下瀨藝術館（廣島，2025）、Art Rotterdam（鹿特丹，2025）、K11藝術村（武漢，2024）、Het Wilde Weten（鹿特丹，2023）。她曾獲荷蘭蒙德里安基金、Amarte Fonds、CBK Rotterdam等資助，並榮獲Jan Naaijkens Prize（2022）。她亦曾策劃《野生藝術節》（2017–2020），致力於推動藝術與社群的對話。
