Wanci Xie – MA/MFA

Working with installations, videos and other media. Many opposing concepts coexist in my works, such as the artificial and natural, living and non-living, subjective and objective. They overlap and interact to form the scenes of our existence. My works re-examine these "contradictory" concepts and explore their poetic expression.
