Brook Yanlin (b. 2000, China) is a visual artist and filmmaker whose practice moves between painting, film, sound, and installation. His works often begin where language becomes insufficient, tracing memory, trauma, silence, and the fragile relation between the body and its surroundings.

From 2019 to 2023, his practice developed from acrylic painting into mixed-media work, where materials, surfaces, and traces gradually became part of the image itself. In 2021, he began exploring moving image. His first poetic short film was completed in 2023; in the same year, he began working with installation, leading to Unterschlupf, a site-specific installation involving space, sound, and visual fragments, completed in early 2024.

Since 2025, Yanlin has continued his artistic education at the Dresden University of Fine Arts (HfBK Dresden), where his current focus has shifted toward poetic film and interdisciplinary moving-image practice under the mentorship of Professor Nicole Vögele.
