About



Chen Qihui, an image-maker and writer based in Shanghai and London. His photographic practice engages with the ambiguities of daily life, liminal states, and the construction of identity. Rooted in acts of observation and extraction from the quotidian, his work delves into the narratives and meanings that arise from photography’s inherent ambiguity and natural indexicality.

His work has been exhibited at Lightbox Gallery, Photobook Café, the Vice&UK Graduate Photography Exhibition, and Fujifilm X-Space.
