Wu Jiaru (b. 1992, Guangdong; lives in Hong Kong) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, moving image, sculpture, and installation. Her work investigates infrastructures of perception and memory, engaging cultural mythology, diaspora, and urban imagination. Through reflective surfaces, hand‑drawn film, found objects, and sound, she creates environments that unsettle viewing and implicate audiences in questions of identity, displacement, and translation.
Wu Jiaru graduated from Tsinghua University in 2014 with a dual degree in Art and English. She received her master degree in Creative Media from City University of Hong Kong in 2017. Recent solo exhibitions include “Apollo Center” at Flowers in Hong Kong (2025), “A Brief Digression” at HART, Hong Kong (2024), “Emotional Device” at P21 in Seoul (2023). Institution projects include “Book Lab: Landing on the Paper Space” at WMA Space, Hong Kong (2024); “Myth Makers – Spectrosynthesis III” at Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong (2023); “Postmodern Tales” at HART, Hong Kong (2023) and “Curtain” at Para Site, Hong Kong (2021). Wu was awarded the Asian Cultural Council New York Fellowship in 2022, and her works are collected by Morgan Stanley Art Collection, Burger Collection, M+ Museum, among others.
