Ruojia Wo (b. Zhejiang, China) is an artist whose practice unfolds across expanded image-making, integrating photography, moving image, graphic visuality, and installation. He received his Master in Photography from the School of Visual Arts, New York.
His work operates at the intersection of image regimes and epistemic structures, attending to the ways in which visuality participates in the production and circulation of knowledge. His recent projects engage with the temporal entanglement of power and discourse, foregrounding how systems of classification and naming—particularly within botanical archives—are implicated in the formation of imperial knowledge. Through strategies of archival re-visualization, he reconfigures historical materials into speculative image-fields, exposing the latent taxonomies and invisible hierarchies embedded within them.
His exhibitions span institutions such as the Zhejiang Art Museum, Zhejiang Exhibition Hall, Huamao Museum of Art Education(MoAE), SVA Gramercy Gallery, Mana Contemporary, and Banshan Gallery Tokyo, etc.
He has been recognized through multiple platforms, including being shortlisted for the TOP20·2025 Chinese Contemporary Photographers and inclusion in the 2024 Annual Report of Chinese Contemporary Photography and Video Arts. He is a recipient of the Jury Selection Prize of the 3rd China Youth Photography Promotion Program, and has been selected for the Zhejiang Province Emerging Talent Program. His work has also been recognized by the 1st Natural Growth Chinese Photographer Grant and the 1st Banshan Photography Award (Top 6).
沃若甲，出生于浙江省舟山市，毕业于纽约视觉艺术学院，获摄影研究硕士学位。其艺术实践基于对泛图像媒介的使用，涵盖摄影、影像、平面视觉，同时延伸至装置与综合材料。他近期的工作致力于研究权力与知识话语在时间流动中的交织，通过对档案的再视觉化，揭示植物学、命名权在帝国知识生产中的隐性结构。
他的作品曾在浙江美术馆、浙江展览馆、华茂艺术教育博物馆、纽约SVA Gramercy Gallery、新泽西Mana Contemporary、东京半山画廊等机构展出。他曾入围TOP20·2025中国当代摄影新锐，中国当代影像艺术年鉴2024，获第三届中国青年摄影师支持计划评委选择奖，入选浙江省“五个一批”新峰计划青年文艺人才，第一届自然生长中国摄影师计划基金大赛最终入选以及第一届半山摄影奖TOP6。
