Li Shuo Phoebe (b.2004) based at Los Angeles / Shenzhen, and is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
Her artistic practice mainly involves site-specific installation, sculpture and performance, focusing on the transformation and alienation of the human body by contemporary social forms as “double-edged knives”. Between geometric and organic forms, her works often transform and reconstruct the body to discuss the discipline ofthe social system on the individual and the collective, also the vulnerability of the individual arising from the loss of subjectivity. On the other hand, the work takes“reality” asa model, through the integration of unique physical and conceptual fields, to show the conceptual flow of people in the face of social change, and to explore how individuals accept and challenge institutional hegemony through the plasticity of the body.
