Joyce Ho holds a B.A. in InternationalRelations from the University of California and an M.A. in Studio Arts from theUniversity of Iowa. Since 2010, she has also expanded her practice intotheatrical writing and directing. Whether working with video, installation,painting, or performance, Ho explores how the body is shaped by everydayenvironments. Positioning herself as an observer, she documents gestures andobjects as they unfold over time, examining the relationship between socialbehaviors—such as consumption, service, and labor—and the physical materialityof everyday objects.Using simple, repetitive actions, she createssituations where ordinary spaces begin to reveal underlying structures. Throughthe deconstruction and repetition of fragmented slices of daily routines, sheconveys the intimacy of our lives while highlighting the sense of alienation wefeel between ourselves and reality. Simultaneously enveloping and confrontingthe audience, her practice turns everyday moments into landscapes and rituals, exposinghow human behavior is subtly conditioned and contained.

何采柔，加州大學國際關係學士，愛荷華大學藝術研究所碩士。
自 2010 年起，她亦開始嘗試編導工作。無論是以錄像、裝置、繪畫或表演的方式創作，何采柔的作品皆試圖探討身體是如何被日常環境所形塑。她將自己定位為一名觀察者，記錄隨著時間推移而展開的姿態與物件，進而探討社會行為（如消費、服務與勞動）與日常物品的物質性之間的關係。透過簡單且重複的動作，她創造出特定的情境，讓尋常的空間開始顯露出潛藏的結構。
通過對日常例行公事的碎片化解構和重複呈現，她傳達了生活的親密性，同時也突顯了我們在自己與現實之間感到的疏離感。
她的創作一方面包圍著觀眾，卻又與其保持對峙的狀態，讓日常的片刻成為了一道風景與儀式，揭示了人類的行為是如何在無形中被制約與框限。
