Mingyi Sung (born 1996, Taiwan) uses photography as a therapeutic tool to represent intimate relationships in the 21st century. Her practice involves staged photographs, self-portrait, performance, and text, combined with feminist and phototherapy methodologies. Often embedding a sense of vulnerability and melancholy, Sung’s work reveals the nuances of love and intimacy, as well as the impact of trauma on self-esteem.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in English and had worked as a teacher in public secondary schools in Taiwan. Her work had been exhibited in various venues, including The Truman Brewery (London), Photo Fringe (Brighton), The Lightbox Gallery (Woking), and VT Artsalon (Taipei). Her latest series, “Looking for Nirvana,” was a  finalist in the 2024 AOP Student Awards. She recently completed her MFA in Photography at the University for the Creative Arts, UK.
