Yifan Zou

Yifan Zou is a Ph.D. candidate in Art History at the University of Chicago, where she studies Chinese art and architecture under the supervision of Wu Hung. Her dissertation, “Competing for Fame: Iconic Timber Pavilions in Chinese Art and Visual Culture,” examines the development of iconic pavilions across artistic and literary mediums in China since the Tang dynasty, and explores how architecture is both a practice of building and representation. Yifan is interested in how art history, as an academic discipline, can accommodate research interests that extend across conventional boundaries between image, object, architecture, and culture. Beyond Chinese art, Yifan’s article “Pyramids, Mountains, and Sight Lines: The Diachronic Evolution of Teotihuacan’s Monumental Structures” appeared in Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture, further exemplifying her interdisciplinary research approach. Yifan earned her MA from the University of Pennsylvania and her BSoSci with First Class Honors from the University of Hong Kong, where she double-majored in Geography and Fine Arts. She has also interned at the Princeton University Art Museum and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Yifan is the 2022-23 Mellon COSI Research Fellow at the Art Institute of Chicago.
