Gao Shuyi is a London-based Chinese interdisciplinary performance artist. She has an MA in Performance Making from Goldsmiths. Her expertise lies in creating body art, performance art, interdisciplinary performance, and site-specific performance. She is interested in exploring the human body and sensations with the echoes of objects and space.
She uses the process of performing to investigate the temporal nature of her existence. During her performances, she is most interested in exploring the fluidity between her conscious, subconscious, and unconscious mind and the flow of actual time, performance time, memories, and dreamscapes.
1994年出生于中国甘肃武威黄羊河国营农场，2017年毕业于中国南京大学MFA 戏剧影视创作，2022年毕业于伦敦大学金史密斯MA Performance Making,获得一等荣誉硕士。。
她的专长在于创造身体艺术、行为艺术、跨学科表演和特定场地表演。她的创作旨在探索人类身体与领土、记忆与物品的关系，由“处于迁徙中的人”为牵引，调查个人身份的建构与解构。同时，她对探索人的身体和感官与物体和空间的呼应感兴趣。她用表演的过程来研究自己存在的时间性。
