Sheung Yiu . (Inter)faces of Predictions . C/O Berlin Talent Award 2025

In the organizer's words:

In his long-term project, Finland-based artist researcher Sheung Yiu (*1991, HKG) investigates how faces are used in different temporal, cultural and technological contexts as projection surfaces for supposed predictions of a person's character traits and future. Yiu combines traditional East Asian practices of face reading with Western physiognomic theories and the latest methods of computer-aided facial recognition. His work comprises object installations, photographic series and panels of found footage that function like a visual archaeology of facial analysis. The result is an open, associative network that links past and present, art and science. In a haunting way, he reveals the growing power of algorithms over our identity and invites us to question our trust in the supposedly objective gaze - whether spiritual, scientific or algorithmic. C/O Berlin presents the artist's first institutional solo exhibition in Germany, accompanied by a comprehensive publication.
