YANGKA
About
Yang Ka, a pioneering artist and theoretician from China, passionately engaged in theatrical creation during her undergraduate years at Nanjing University of the Arts, where she studied Theatre Stage Design. She furthered her studies at the Royal College of Art in the UK, specializing in Fine arts and Humanities.
Yang Ka’s artistic practice is diverse, transcending conventional media and encompassing a wide range of subjects. Her expertise lies in performance art, environmental theatre, and social intervention. Her works are deeply rooted in the postmodern notion that political and spatial identities are fluid and ever-changing. Through her actions, she continuously interrogates and measures her relationship with space, challenging how we create new spatial narratives through performative acts.
Her exploration of ritualism aims to probe the boundaries of political discourse through the lens of everyday politics and the examination of her own body. In her series of works, she employs rituals as a method and performance as an event, amplifying the intensity of experiences and broadening the imagination and possibilities of space.
Yang Ka’s art is a profound inquiry into how we construct and experience the world around us. By questioning and redefining the narratives of space and identity, she invites us to reconsider the political and personal dimensions of our existence.
