Shen Xin (b. 1990, Sichuan) creates moving image installations and performances that deconstruct dominant power structures and empower alternative histories, relations, and potentials between individuals and nation states. Through a practice based on historical and critical research, the artist seeks to create affirmative spaces of belonging as well as polyphonic narratives and identities. Shen was a finalist of the 2019 Sigg Prize. Their recent work Brine Lake (A New Body) premiered at the 2021 Gwangju Biennale and the Walker Art Center.
Works by Shen Xin include Video Installation and Video.
