‘Extended Staying’
The Netherlands
Interdisciplinary Artist VERA YIJUN ZHOU
2022 Shortlist
The work of Vera Zhou documents the multiple social contradictions of the post-globalization era.
The project ‘Extended Stay’ tells the story of two people transiting across borders in search of a home.
It illustrates, through real experiences of living in-between and constant struggles of longing for home, issues of identity rarely shown in mainstream media.
