About
Dan Rong/Angel Rong
b. Guangdong, China
My multicultural experience of living in China, Australia, the Netherlands and the UK drives me to discover and unfold relationships, aesthetics, curiosities, power dynamics of environments between the nonhuman lifeforms and humans that surrounds me. There are various intriguing perspectives of perceiving this world that are yet to be discovered. With mixed mediums of performance, film, sculpture and installations, I explore possible ways to exist among the problematically habitiual relationships with nonhuman lifeforms. This entails motion, spontaneousness, balance in social hierarchy among nonhumans and humans.
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。
