她的创作主要致力于将“自文化”转化为“他文化”视角，并置进时空深层框架进行思考，她通过图像、视频、写作及装置等诸多媒介进行转译。她基于行走、基于个人经验，借用符号学、文学以及相关社会学科中的元素对场景进行重构，籍此呈现世界范围内的文明流动，文化流变，一个“新”的叙述者从中产生，以“闯入者”的形象迫问历史之真，探讨和回应原本与副本的复杂勾连。

A "newcomer", a "future long-dweller". Pocono Zhao Yu’s works focus on transforming the perspective from "self-culture" to "other-culture" and reflecting in the deep spatio-temporal framework. She translates the world through various media such as image, video, writing and installation. Based on personal experience, she reconstructs the scene by borrowing elements from semiotics, literature and related social disciplines, thus presenting a "new" narrator to question the authenticity of history as an "intruder" and explore and respond to the complex connection between the original and the copy. She also focouses on issues of identity and territorial anxiety arising from globalization.
