Chris Zhongtian Yuan is an artist based in London. Working with video, sound, performance, sculpture and installation, Yuan’s practice centres around the notion of ‘punk filmmaking,’ drawing improvisational techniques and DIY ethos from a wide range of music genres such as punk, jazz and noise. Yuan’s work recomposes vernacular sonic and spatial materials to queer archive, pop culture, and the use of technology in experimental animation. Coming from a materialist lineage and architecture background, their exhibitions often use site-responsive strategies to playfully blur the boundaries amongst critique, care and confabulation. Yuan is currently a PhD candidate at Kingston School of Art and lecturer at Reading School of Art.
