Chen Zhe approaches artistic practice as a search for integration amid separation. By pressing against thresholds where body and consciousness struggle to reconcile, and where language and experience fail to coincide, she seeks to understand how one might inhabit finitude as it is lived.
In Chen’s work, the body serves not only as a vessel of perception, but as the site of transformation. She explores how time, trauma, desire, and belief inscribe themselves upon the body, and how these invisible forces acquire form through it. This perspective is deeply informed by literature, anatomy, and Jungian psychology, drawing upon the symbolic systems of astronomy, divination, alchemy, and ritual practice.
Often unfolding as long-term projects, Chen’s practice spans photography, sculpture, installation, and publication, collectively forming an ongoing journey of discovery and return.
陈哲将创作视为一种在分离之中寻求整合的实践。她不断逼近那些身体与意识难以相通、语言与经验无法重合的临界状态，尝试理解人在其中如何与自身的有限性真实地共处。
在她的作品里，身体不仅是感知的媒介，也是转化发生的场所。她关注时间、创伤、欲望与信仰如何塑造身体，以及这些不可见的力量如何借由身体获得形态。这一理解深受文学、解剖学与荣格心理学的影响，并吸收了天文学、占卜术、炼金术与宗教仪轨中的象征结构。
陈哲的工作常以长期项目的形式展开，跨越摄影、雕塑、空间装置与出版物等媒介，共同构成一段发现与回返的旅程。
