Youqine Lefèvre’s practice explores the relationship between the personal and the political, bridging demography and sociology. Informed by her personal familial history, she examines East Asia and the perception of these territories, demographics and culture from a Western lens. Combining photography, video, archives, research and text, Youqine’s work deconstructs these stereotypes to cast a critical eye on the region and one’s understanding of the region.

While in residence, Youqine will continue her explorations with video while developing her research on family ties and dynamics, as well as alternative family structures, be it voluntary or imposed.
