Peng Yun is one of the most representative female experimental artists in Macau, and the Hinterland Art Circle. Her works are also in some important exhibitions across the globe. […] During her graduate education, she followed the famous professor of China Academy of Art, Zhang Peili, who is considered as the father of Chinese video art. In 2011, Peng Yun migrated to Macau. Within two years, with her female view and the identity of experimental artist, Peng Yun got to record the influence that this new city had on her. Perhaps, some people deem her works filled with ice-sexuality and gentle sweetness. All adjectives for female description can be found in her art works.

Recent exhibitions include: Between China and Portuguese-Speaking Countries Annual Arts Exhibition, Macao (2018); Presence Young Artist Exhibition, Hangzhou, China (2018); Screen Refreshing/Labor: AMNUA Photography Exhibition 2018, Nangjing, China (2018); Women Artists 1st International Biennial of Macao, Macao (2018); Now: A Dialogue on Female Chinese Contemporary Artists, Manchester/ Nottingham/ Middleborough/ Essex/ Liverpool/ London, UK(2018); WE, Montreal, Canada (2017); The Sweet Life?, Hangzhou, China (2017); Souls Which Are One Shall Meet, Berlin, Germany (2016 solo exhibition); Danube Video Art Festival, Grein, Austria (2016); Peng Yun & Jose Drummond– A midsummer night’s dream, Macau (2015); Polyphony III, Nanjing, China (2015); Photo Shanghai 2015, Shanghai, China (2015).

M 小姐和F先生的下午2點31分 / Miss Melissa and Mr Fish at 2:31p.m.

2013 / 7’47” / 16:9
我用作品與我的生活對話，女孩們在我的作品裏留下了她們的名字。
2013年我的生活經歷了大的變故，這些經歷帶給我痛苦，我將這些情感用一系列的錄像作品來呈現。
在『M小姐與F先生的下午2點31分』中，我想討論在一段關係裏，求而不得之苦 。
我選用一條死去的魚和Melissa小姐的右手，在經過撫摸、進入和破壞等一系列的動作中，情緒發生著變化，當魚的身體被徹底破壞直達情緒的頂點時，在這種近乎竭斯底裡的表象背後卻是永遠無法得到回應之苦。

I use my works to communicate with my lives; Girl’s name to stay in my work .
In 2013, my lives had experienced a drastic change, the experience brought me suffers, I made appear these feelings through a series of video works.
In ‘’Miss Melissa and Mr Fish at 2.31pm’’, I want to discuss, in a relationship, the suffering of not getting what you want.
I chose to use a dead fish and Miss Melissa’s right hand. During a series of movements such as touching, entering, and destroying, my emotions changed. When the fish’s body was completely destroyed as I reached the peak of emotions, I was almost exhausted. Behind the appearance of the inside is the pain of never getting a response.
