Cai Minhao 蔡 旻皓 (b. 1998, Guangzhou, China), is an artist who primarily works with photographs and digital media. He focuses on the semantic transformation of urban spaces in different mediums through simulation and cross-validation, especially in the buildings and mobility landscapes of urban zones between the city and suburb. By chronically rambling, inhabiting and fantasizing, his work attempts to explore how individuals perceive home and external space, and the stability and temporariness of habitat highlighted by normality and emergency.
