Introduction
Cao Fei (Chinese: 曹斐; born 1978) is a Chinese multimedia artist born in Guangzhou. Her work, which includes video, performance, and digital media, examines the daily life of Chinese citizens born after the Cultural Revolution. Her work explores China's widespread internet culture as well as the borders between dreams and reality. Cao has captured the rapid social and cultural transformation of contemporary China, highlighting the impact of foreign influences from the United States and Japan. Some of her work is owned and displayed by The Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. In 2021 she won the Deutsche Börse Photography Foundation Prize. Cao's My City is Yours exhibition is being shown at the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney until 13 April 2025. Cao's The Future Is Not A Dream exhibition is on display at the MALBA museum in Buenos Aires until 17 February 2025. The Pérez Art Museum Miami, Florida, is featuring Cao's single channel video People’s Limbo in RMB City (2009) in Worlds Apart, a digital media exhibition in 2025.
