Taoyuan Jin 金桃源 makes work about home and away, the self and place, & the everyday. 
 
She is interested in the theorization of travel as a range of interdisciplinary practices, situating oneself in relation to a questionable, stable & constant home. In her research, she investigates the representation of transnational migration, identity politics, and the “open road” in experimental ethnographic films. 

Taoyuan was born and raised in Hangzhou, China. She holds a BA from Emerson College and an MFA from Duke University. She currently lives in Los Angeles.

Video file IMG_2008 is a diary project made from iPhone camera roll archive. It is an attempt to represent the fragmentation of time spent in waiting, speculating, and looking through the surfaces of different objects for a pristine (futile) image of the everyday.
