Void artgenève — Ruyun Xiao

RUYUN XIAO

Her imaginative process embodies herself in first-person memories, stories, and myths. She produces frameworks, and instruments to choreograph experiences of the unknown. Using writing as the foundation, she engages with performance, design, publication, and sound to communicate sensorium ways of knowing and unknowing.

Xiao is currently based in London, United Kingdom.

She worked as a 2D designer at Ralph Appelbaum Associates in New York City for six years.

Journey of an absent body
Sound from the tunnel that you can never reach
