(DK/CN)
currently based in the Hague
Raised between China and Denmark and languages
of Mandarin, English and Danish,
language has always been a territory of linguistic
hierarchies to me and a medium of revealing cultural layers rather than just
communication.
My work serves as a continuous auto-ethnographic research. A research of power structures through and with language.
I am interested in how language
is an ecosystem, when it is plastic, mutable and shaping bodies both ways. How
language is a medium of revealing power. And where that leaves the speaking,
listening, reading and writing body.
Currently I am researching
how language is not fixed and how words are inherently violent when they
include and exclude. Instead I aim to create work exploring
alternative ways of languaging (looking upon meaning production as not fixed,
but open-ended and process-oriented) and possible methods of coming together.
Believing that each
individual is interconnected with influences outside of oneself, I collaborate with
materials, spatial influences and people to create such work.
Each space is a space for non-linear research and an osmosis of knowledge, in which the aim is not to find one conditioned answer - only temporary unfixed ones.
