Weiyue Sun is a photographer based in London and China. She has a background in sociology and currently undertaking an MA in Photography at the Royal College of Art in London. Raised in the historically rich city of Xi’an and having spent significant time in Western countries, Sun is fascinated by the interplay between the colonial histories of East and West.
Her practice explores the relationship between dominant histories and constructed histories, and seeks to create multifaced interpretations of the past and present through photography. She reacts to obscured histories through multiple mediums and uses museums, archives and collections as legacy to retell and reinvent colonial history.
