About
Dan Rong/Angel Rong
b. Guangdong, China
As I’ve shifted through China, Australia, the Netherlands and the UK, it drives me to discover relations, connections, aesthetics, curiosities, and power dynamics of environments, animals, and humans that accompanies me. In this accelerated society, I hope to provide more attention for commonly seen subjects that are neglected by the public to be seen and felt. While engaging with the spaces and species around me, with unpredicted results, I seek for potential changes, going beyond their capabilities and breaking common perspectives. Exploring egalitarianism and dignity that urban natures deserve in this anthropocentric world. Multi-mediums like sculptures, installations, performances, imageries and sounds are used throughout the process.
我的足迹遍布中国、澳大利亚、荷兰和英国……这促使我去探索陪伴着我的环境，动物和人类之间的关系、牵绊、美学、好奇心和权力动态。在这个加速发展的社会中，我希望能让更多人关注那些被忽视的常见事物，让它们被看到，被感受到。在深深感受和接触着周围的环境和生物时，我想寻找出他们可能的转变，超越它们本身的能力，打破人们对它们常规的视角。在这个人类中心主义的世界里，寻找城市自然中因有的平等与尊重。雕塑、装置、表演、图像和声音等多种媒介贯穿创作的整个过程。
