Basic profile

He is a cross-border comprehensive artist art healing practitioner focusing on creative interactive art, video and installation. Graduated from the Law Department of Northwest University of Political Science and Law, he majored in drama and film performance in France, and later studied art therapy with European and American masters. Since 2010, he has appeared as an actor in domestic and foreign film and television and theater works. Since 2013, he has independently created four video works. In 2015, he proposed a new concept of “creative interactive art”, which is both an art form and an art healing technique. Yi Ke created the first series of works for the research project, “Stray Rabbit”, and conducted one-on-one non-verbal and in-depth spiritual interactions with hundreds of people in indoor and outdoor art spaces such as Shanghai Long Museum and Beijing Times Art Museum, shopping malls, and real life places such as Hu, helping ordinary people to understand and heal themselves. In 2016, he proposed a multi-media art cooperation plan: aiming to collaborate with different artists and integrate cross-border creations in multiple art media. In August, the first project was added: “Two People”, which explored the possibility of combining the two into one and exploring the possibility of multiple artistic expressions, among which the public art work “Two People’s Edge of the City” won the first prize of the Sanxingdui Theater Festival. In November of the same year, he tried the “field” installation for the first time during his residency in Hangzhou, opening up a new direction of creation. In January 2017, he won the SAYA Elite International Artist Award, and began the creation and research of the second phase of creative interactive art and site installation. He is currently working between China and Europe, actively working in the field of contemporary art, and is committed to cross-border creation and research with interaction and healing as the core.
