Biography

Min-Jia‘s (b. 2001, lives and works in Berlin) practice spans painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and writing. Their work reimagines the body as a site of transformation, continually remade by the frictions between desires, social constructions, and physical limitations. Drawing on folk traditions, mythology, and pop culture, Min-Jia explores the erotic tensions and unexpected intimacies that emerge as bodies negotiate geographical borders and cultural classifications. By unsettling inherited categories of identity and belonging, their work makes space for contradictions to be embodied and metabolized, where new forms of relation can emerge.

Min-Jia presented a solo exhibition at PODIUM, Hong Kong (2025) and participated in group exhibitions including Bernheim, London & Zürich (2025); James Fuentes Gallery, New York (2024); Franz Kaka, Toronto (2024); and X Museum, Beijing (2023). Their works are held in the collection of the Royal Bank of Canada. They are currently working on their forthcoming novel, Mechanical Tail. Min-Jia completed a Shaanxi Huaxian shadow puppetry apprenticeship under Master Wang Tianwen, studied at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), and graduated from the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK).
