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.
