Chronicles of Intimacy13 November 2025 to 17 November 2025https://piefactorymargate.co.uk/exhibition/jiayi-yu-chronicles-of-intimacy/


“Chronicles of Intimacy” is an unfinished book of fables.

It explores intimacy as a multifaceted experience: as inner affect and as social tension; as the flow of desire and bodily energy, and as entangled with identity, memory, and structures of power.

Here, identity is no longer a fixed belonging, but a process of naming, dismantling, and reconstruction. The body is not a silent vessel, but a sensitive site where emotions and desires converge. Intimacy is not simply a refuge, but a terrain of contradictions—woven through dependency, conflict, and distance.

Fable becomes a method of entry: through symbols, metaphors, and fragmented narratives, intimacy—often unspeakable—comes into view.
