Li Yaoyao was born in Chengdu in 1994. She graduated from Sichuan Academy of Fine Arts in 2017, going on to study at the Venice Academy of Fine Arts, where she received her MFA degree in 2021. She now lives and works in Chengdu and Chongqing.

Li Yaoyao is the youngest artist in this exhibition, with her works covering performance, installation, video, and poetry. Li focuses on the transformation and extension of her physical environment into a spatiality that is simultaneously containing and being contained. She also encounters and draws connections between “uncertain possibilities.”

Recently, Li Yaoyao has been exploring the relationship between the perception of self-imagery, particularly in terms of the body, as well as the attractive forces and tendencies of repetitive memories and future emotions. She begins with a written text, going on to conjure a dream with image and sound, building a parallel world of inner micro-movement which is triggered by perception.
