Collaborations
Yi Zhou has been selected by Sundance Film Festival four consecutive times. Since 2010, Yi Zhou has been appointed as art director of Tudou.com and she has suggested the initiative of bridging Sundance Institute members with 2011 Tudou Video Festival and with China.
Yi Zhou also developed a series of online moving portraits of key international players in the movie/fashion/art industries, posted on Tudou.com and Weibo.com. This project not only introduces these celebrities to the Chinese twitter user, but also shows Yi Zhou's approach to her work as a multimedia artist by creating these portraits for the social media only.(Social media portraits anthology I, Social media portraits anthology II, Social media portraits anthology III)
The same attempt can also be seen in the social media play that Yi Zhou has written and performed with Nicola Formichetti in September 2011, "The Dream", a short film feauring herself and Nicola Formichetti with the attempt of drawing international attention to emerging Chinese fashion designers' works. She has also written the scale for this film.
Music has always be the key to Yi Zhou's works. She has collaborated with Ennio Morricone in 6 of her works: Unexpetected Hero(2011), Labyrinth(2011), DVF 2011(2011), The Greatness(2010), The Ear(2009). She has also written the music for Clair de Lune for United Nations, premiered at 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference.
