June Yu is an artist-researcher who attempts to bridge the seemingly disconnected borders. Her practice is guided by a methodology that invites cross-pollination between fields, events and disparities. She has engaged in theoretical fundamental research, biophysics lab research, archaeological textual research, with sound, video, installation, spatial manipulation and playful gatherings, workshops as public-facing outputs. She is equally fascinated by clichés as well as novelties. In her work, she tries to tap into the timelessness of being-in-the-world and offer peeks into the continuity between different forms of existence. 

During the fellowship, June will continue her research into “contaminable bodies” that anchor around the idea of immunity. Taking inspiration from both medical-biological history and socio-historical conceptualization of the idea, June will devise different research tools to investigate how bodies and ideas contaminate one another, in space and time. Her work will engage with traces sustained in time or not after encounters by way of invoking diffusion pattern reading, designed spatial and social gatherings, and other imprints documentation and processing methods.
