Ren Zeyuan (b. 1997, Ningbo), currently lives and works in Shanghai. He holds an MFA in Photography from Rhode Island School of Design. Spanning lens-based media, installation and performance, his practice is rooted in the composite experiences of displacement between coasts, ruminating on liminality in the context of historical and geographic specificity. His recent research concerns the “imaginary lines” charted by the West in the waters of the Yangtze River estuary during the 19th century, and the concrete representations of imperial optics.

Ren's works have been exhibited and screened at venues including Guangdong Times Museum, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, de Young Museum and Microscope Gallery. He is the finalist of the Three Shadows Photography Award (2024) and the UCCA Lab Emerging Artist Program (2022).

任泽远，1997年出生于浙江宁波，现工作和生活于上海。2023年于罗德岛设计学院摄影系取得纯艺术硕士。横跨镜头媒介、装置和行为，他的实践根植于近年在不同海岸间位移的复合经验，思考并体察特定历史和地理背景下的阈限性。他近期的研究关切19世纪西方在长江口水域企图描绘的“虚线”，以及帝国光学的具体表征。

任的作品曾在广东时代美术馆，炼金术电影和移动影像节，旧金山笛洋美术馆，Microscope Gallery 等地展出和放映。他于2024年入围三影堂摄影奖，2022年入围UCCA Lab 新锐艺术家计划。
