Muzi Li Rowe is a visual artist and photographer. Rowe works with the physical elements of the camera, observing photography through its own medium. She creates optical assemblages of obsolete technology and photographs using various processing methods. Often combining analog cameras, historical processing methods and contemporary subjects in her processes, she reflects the significance of practicing analog media in the current Digital Age.

Born and raised in Beijing, China, Rowe has lived in between Beijing, Sydney, Hawaii and California since the age of 17. She received a Bachelor of Visual Arts from the University of Sydney, Australia and a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California Davis. Rowe is the recipient of The Ali Youssefi Project 2020 Artist in Residence and has exhibited in the US, China and Australia, at venues including The Manetti Shrem Museum of Art, University of California, Davis, CA; Carriage Works, Sydney, Australia; and Bronze Ware Museum, Ordos, China.
