Jingyun Li

Jingyun Li (born 1995 in Xi’an) is a freelance theater artist and producer. Living and working across languages, have strongly shaped their approach to art making and performance.  In their artistic practice they explore a wide range of themes such as sexuality, migration, cultural identity and censorship through the lens of language. 
Jingyun Li use languages as artistic material to playfully reshape ways of writing, speaking and communication and to question the worldview, ideology and power of languages.

Being a non-native in the languages, they look for expressive potentials in mistakes, imperfections, hybrid languages - forms of non-standardized language use and linguistic alienation. 

Projects

Schermbeck

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.
