Artist Statement





Tianqi Liu(b.1993), graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2019, majoring in Performance. She works/lives in Hangzhou.
Tianqi Liu's work often involves performance and moving image. Starting with tiny practices in daily life, mostly in repetitive actions and nonverbal forms, she examines the power relations within the myth of intimate relationships, including care labor and the politics of emotion in feminist theory, by examining how the unspoken and social patterns are intertwined. Within the framework of her practice, she explores how gendered, politicized, and relational bodies are constructed.

刘天琦的作品以行为与影像为主,她专注于从日常生活的微小实践中出发,多以非语言的形式和重复的行为,通过思考隐蔽的痛苦创伤与现实社会结构所交叉缠绕的复杂性问题,去审视亲密关系神话中的权力关系,关照劳动及女性主义情感政治。同时,她的实践关注性别化的、政治化的、关系化的身体是如何被构建的。
