About
Lishuang Xu (b.1989, Changsha) is an art practitioner based in Hunan and Shanghai. She graduated from the University of the Arts London (Chelsea College of Arts) with First Class Honours in BA Fine Art in 2019.
Xu explores the unease of the body and perception in a rapidly changing society through performance, video, and installation. Her work examines labor, spatial transformation, and performance systems, drawing inspiration from everyday actions and presenting the entanglement of subjective perception and objective reality through alienation.
Xu has participated in residency programs and performance programs such as OCAT (Shenzhen), Machang, UP-ON International Live Art Festival and Vortex Macalline.
