A multidisciplinary artist and composer whose practice encompasses performative installations, choreography, and architectural interventions, Pan Daijing has consistently made waves by refuting our expectations for the genres of music, live art, and contemporary art exhibitions. Based in Berlin and active internationally, Pan roots her practice in the primacy of sensations brought together in the bodies of the musical performer and audience members, while drawing narratively on sources from Chinese literature and contemporary life. In ArtAsiaPacific’s upcoming feature, we look at how Pan responds to space through sound and imagery in compelling fusions of the abstract and the brutally real.
