Performing Art: Dragon Spam Performance

Dragon Spam Performance, 2022

Influenced by animism and shamanic culture, I use the intimate union of my body and costume, to explore the boundaries between man-made and non-man-made objects, and to reflect the fluidity of flesh during a pandemic.

I believe in the power of nature. Human beings, including man-made things of course, are encapsulated in a very small part of it. It is a form of human arrogance to put the two concepts, nature and human technology, in separate opposition to each other.

So do my spam have a soul?

Performer: Qingqing Liu is a Chinese artist now based in London. She graduated from Royal College of Art (Contemporary Art Practice, 2021) .

Her works across moving image, performance, installation and text. She likes to play with and create surreal scenarios, that locate traditional oriental worldviews, in the space of neon sci-fi aesthetics. The animistic concern of definitional dynamic between the animate and inanimate is a constant theme in her practice. Through fantasizing about the tender sweetness and extreme cruelty of feminist environments, her work celebrates the joy of being born out of the darkness, and explores the transcendental material that gives illusion to everything; in both physical and virtual worlds.
