# 孙也佳 Yejia Sun ## Posts - [The Sky Project](https://yejiasun.com/the-sky-project/): 2025, Accent Sisters I think about the sky all the time. Since last summer, I’ve been collecting images of the sky from every place I’ve visited and every moment that moved me—dawn in Guizhou, dusk in New York. In this growing archive of skies, I see not just the shifting clouds and colors above, but the evolving versions of myself beneath them. The sky belongs to all of us, yet no two skies are the same. And it never stops changing—just like we don’t. In this exhibition at Accent Sister New York, I created a interactive photography archive which collected more […] ## Pages - [GNIRUT](https://yejiasun.com/what-do-you-believe/): Gnirut Gnirut Verification required Gnirut We need to verify that you are a real human.

She initially started having severe pain that kept her and my mother (who was taking care of her) awake all night and then transformed into disability which made it impossible to get out of bed. With limited resources in China, my mother and I had to take care of her at home and in the hospital from time to time which lasted almost one year. She was later taken care of by a nurse in the hospital who also took care of her on a shift of 24-7 for a […] - [Museum of what will have been](https://yejiasun.com/museum21/): The performance asks what it means to remember—and misremember—our own time from the vantage point of an imagined future. Its purpose is to stage the present as a ruin: to treat everyday objects, habits, and media as archaeological fragments that expose how colonialism, capitalism, climate catastrophe, and gendered violence are woven into ordinary life. By using a museum guide that glitches, misreads artifacts, and fails to reconstruct a “complete” history, the piece questions who holds the archive, whose stories are lost, and why fantasies of perfect technological memory are themselves violent and incomplete. At the same time, the work invites audiences […] - [](https://yejiasun.com/) - [About Me](https://yejiasun.com/about-me/): 孙也佳Sun Yejia is an artist and scholar from Beijing, China, and currently based in the United States.

Commenting on The President’s Invitation, Tian Luo of The New York Times had this to say: “The President’s Invitation is becoming more and more unique… this drama uses traditional methods and relies solely on the power of text to win word-of-mouth and audiences. I worked as the dramaturg for the adaptation and went to rehearsal on a weekly basis. Before the show, I created a shared document of casebook for audiences to get to know more about the […] - [The Rasa Project](https://yejiasun.com/the-rasa-project/): National Sawdust 2023.10 REPERTOIRE JOHN CAGE Sonatas and Interludes for prepared piano (1946-48) inti figgis-vizueta INBHIR (Many Waters) for solo cello (2020)—New York premiere JOHN CAGE 4’33”(1952) REENA ESMAIL Varsha वर्षा for solo viola (2019) ‍ Wong Foo Jeng, Arthur Siyun Li, Nacho Ojeda, Landon Wilson, prepared piano Teagan Faran, violist Clara Cho, cello Srujanee Mishra, playwright Yejia Sun, dramaturg/Producer Alexandra He, digital artist Yuie Wang, software engineer Concept by Landon Wilson and Peng Guan Other Materials - [Contact](https://yejiasun.com/contact/) - [Academic/Practice-as-Research](https://yejiasun.com/academic/): Practice-as-Research The Caregiving Project Inspired by my personal experiences caring for my family, I initiated this project to support caregivers, a role and labor that has long been neglected in hospice care and for people with special needs. With the growing aging population worldwide, the question of how to care for our own aging families or families in need has become a universal concern. At some point, each of us will become a caregiver or be cared for at least once in our lifetime.
