Luyuan Zhang is a Chinese multidisciplinary artist based in Melbourne. Born in 1995 in China, moved to Melbourne, Australia in 2014.
Behind the deadpan performance in the video and the slapstick humor of the installation, Luyuan’s work reflects a period of time in the artist’s life of displacement.
Luyuan works from the perspective of a queer, immigrant artist. They work within the mediums of installation, video, and performance. Their work has a comedic approach, using sugar-coated bullets aimed at provoking understanding and criticality toward contemporary social phenomena.
Luyuan comes from a musical family background. Under their family influence, they were trained in vocal and violin but eventually retaliated by accidentally dropping the violin on the ground in half. More than 10 years after the destined accident Luyuan is once again picking up the violin this time in their own will, in search of significant childhood connections to soothe the homesickness.
Throw away music theories, Luyuan now is relearning and reconstructing their own understanding of music theory. Their learning method is to listen and collaborate with the surrounding sound and rhythms.
