Yuki Rasa Uchida-Jean (also working as Yuki Rasa and Yuki UJ) is an artist whose practice explores how relations, language, and affect take form through lived experience. Born and raised in Europe and of French–Japanese background, she has spent extended periods in Japan, experiences that inform the cross-cultural sensibility of her work.

Working across writing, performance, and conceptual structures, her practice approaches art as a field of encounter rather than the production of fixed objects.

Her earlier work engaged poetic and conceptual forms to examine themes of intimacy, temporality, and the fragile architectures of human relationships. Through language, gesture, and performative situations, Uchida-Jean explored how meaning emerges through interaction rather than stable representation.

Her current work enters a post-object phase, shifting attention away from the production of discrete artworks toward relational and instruction-based structures. Working with scores, prompts, and open frameworks, Uchida-Jean develops situations in which participants activate the work through interpretation and presence.

In this phase, the artwork exists less as a material artefact than as a set of relations — unfolding through language, time, and social encounter.

Uchida-Jean is currently developing this body of work in collaboration with MOSCW.
