Profile picture of KAIYING CHEN

Kaiying Chen,lives in London and studying at Central Saint Martins. Her works are primarily centered around installation. Spanning multiple dimensions of performance, and music, her practice explores the human condition within contemporary society, specifically delving into the relationships between individual resistance and the collective unconscious. She was heavily influenced by Attali and saw noise as a form of resistance to the musical order. Her recent artistic practices focus on the social implications of noise in politics contexts and how sound shapes and alters collective consciousness. In her previous works, she combined drone sounds with metal sculptural to explore how understanding and emotional connections are constructed between people through sound.

The concept of the confessional arises from my enduring fatigue with censorship, listening, and the demand to understand. Within the asymmetrical structure of power and listening, sound becomes both a repetitive echo and a point of intersection between resistance and discipline.

Final work

It was a borderless flag-raising ceremony without a flag, and noise was my weapon of resistance against melodramatic sound.

Flag Rising Ceremony

It was a borderless flag-raising ceremony without a flag, and noise was my weapon of resistance against melodramatic sound.
I explore the imbalance of power in relationships through drum pedals and spiked nails and plaster.

You And Me

I form a ritual through severed violins and iron.
