Artists

Mimi Xu has built a distinctive career, establishing herself as a composer, producer, performer, musical director, and acclaimed DJ. Her work spans feature films, performance art series, installation pieces, and catwalks testament to her eclectic and unconventional musical background. Born into a world of classical and experimental music, Xu was profoundly influenced by her father, the renowned French-Chinese acoustic architect Albert Yaying Xu. Her passion for the transformative power of sound took root at an early age through her piano studies. She later pursued architecture and journalism before transitioning into the music industry, working with various record labels. This period shaped her DJ career and led to the creation of Mimi Xu Studio a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to original music composition for film, fashion, and live performance.

Zoë Marden is an artist, musician and filmmaker living between Hong Kong and London. Rooted in queer ecologies and post-human feminisms, her multidisciplinary practice moves through voice, ritual, sculpture and embodiment. Working increasingly through sonic intuition under the moniker Zero, she uses looping pedals and live voice as sites of transformation, building immersive environments where sculptural installations, sound and performance operate as a unified system.
