Ren Zeyuan (b.1997, Ningbo) is an artist currently living and working in Hangzhou.

He holds an MFA in Photography from Rhode Island School of Design. 

Working with lens-based media and installation, 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 Western-led project of lighting the China Coast during the late nineteenth century and the reshaping of perceptual experience through modern optical devices of that period. 

Ren’s works have been exhibited and screened at venues including Fotografiska Shanghai, University of Nottingham-Ningbo, Guangdong Times Museum, Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival, de Young Museum and Microscope Gallery. He was the finalist of the Three Shadows Photography Award.
