Mirroring between Asia and Europe, Muyang Teng (b.1998, Changzhou) works as a cultural translator through words, images, and theories. Their work attends to how inscrutable surfaces—(s)kin, meaning, difference, tone—seep from displacement, racialized (un)feeling, and uneven stacking residue of globalization, reconfiguring trauma through delayed rhythms.

Dwelling in language and cultural borders as an amatuer, Muyang composes through adjacency, not authority. They hold queerness and translation as methodological twins, enabling drift across linguistic and epistemological systems. Their work marinates fragmentation through lo-fi mimicry, wayward phrasing, and contagious juxtaposition to evoke weathered subtleties.

Roaming with the Dutch Art Institute (since 2024), Muyang creates small editions and shares poetic work within close-knit communities. Their work has been shown at V2 and WORM (Rotterdam), SIGN (Groningen), EYE Filmmuseum (Amsterdam), Nida Art Colony (Lithuania), and Mugetang Gallery (Chengdu). They hold an MA in Lens-Based Media from the Piet Zwart Institute.

往返于亚洲与欧洲之间，滕沐洋（1998年生于常州）作为文化翻译者，在词语、影像与理论之间工作。他们的创作关注那些不可捉摸的表面——肤／色、意／义、差／异、语／调——如何从流离失所、种族化的情／非情以及全球化的不均匀的层叠残余中渗出，借由延迟的节奏让创伤以断裂的方式显现。

作为业余者长居语言与文化边界，滕沐洋通过“邻近”而非“权威性”进行创作。他们将酷儿性与翻译视为方法论孪生体，使得以在语言与认知系统间漂移。他们的创作将碎片腌渍于低保真模仿、游移语序与感染性并置中，唤起那些风化却未褪的感受。

自2024年起，沐洋与荷兰艺术学院漫游，持续以小体量方式开展创作并于亲密社群中分享诗性作品。他们的作品曾展出于鹿特丹V2与WORM、格罗宁根SIGN、阿姆斯特丹EYE电影博物馆、立陶宛尼达艺术村与成都木格堂。毕业于皮特·茨瓦特研究所“基于镜头的媒介”硕士项目。
