GENG DAYOU
耿大有
Contemporary Artist-Curator
Geng Dayou (b. 1998, Zibo, Shandong) currently lives and works in Shanghai. He holds a BSc in Psychology from King's College London and an MA in Contemporary Art Theory from Sotheby's Institute of Art, London.
His unconventional educational trajectory—spanning psychology and pure theory—has sharpened his sensitivity to the hidden emotional structures and collective memories that permeate public life. His conceptual practice moves across installation, moving image, sound, and video games, constructing situations through a theatrical language of absurdist humor to distill the paradoxes at the heart of modernity.
