Han Qian (b. 1993, Wuhan) graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris. She currently lives and works between Wuhan and Kunming.
Her practice spans video, installation, performance, and printmaking. Over the years, she has been concerned with time, memory, and the material traces and historical residues that adhere to them. Beginning with micro-histories drawn from family narratives and industrial migration, her work traces the movements and settlements of several generations within rapidly shifting landscapes, re-examining questions of identity politics and geopolitical belonging.
In this process, her attention to individual experience extends toward broader forms of life. Through the reconfiguration of hidden clues and fragile materials, and by reorganizing residual objects, bodily gestures, and spatial relations, she attempts to bring overlooked ruptures back into visibility. Her practice is both a search for fragments forgotten within history and environment, and a call toward presence within absence—responding to trauma and unease while opening other ways of sensing lives at the margins of history.
韩倩,1993年出生于武汉。先后毕业于罗马美术学院与巴黎国立高等美术学院。现生活、工作于武汉与昆明。
韩倩的创作结合了录像、装置、行为、版画等多种媒介。长期以来,她关注着时间、记忆以及黏附着这两者的物与历史痕迹。她的工作常从个人家庭与工业迁移的微观线索出发,追索数代人在剧变地景中的迁徙与定居,并由此重新感知身份政治与地缘认同。
在此过程中,她将这种对个体经验的关怀延伸至更广阔的生命维度。透过对隐藏线索与脆弱材料的梳理,借由对物之残余、身体动作与空间关系的重组,她尝试使那些被忽略的断裂重新显形。她的实践既是对历史与环境中遗忘片段的追索,也是在缺席状态下对存在的呼唤,由此回应创伤与不安,并为历史边缘的存在打开另一种感知的可能。
