BIOGRAPHY
Enxi Liu, born in 2001, obtained a Bachelor's degree from the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts in China and is currently pursuing an MRes degree at the Royal College of Art in the UK. She often poetically explores the various possibilities of combining sensory time with the body through performance, photography, and imagery. In her creations, the interconnected sensations of personal bodily experiences and self-reflective experiences are combined with a sense of prolonged time. Elements such as identity, memory, perception, and traces are all inscribed into a slow and subtle cycle of existence.

[Maybe this is a boundless wandering of the soul
In the thin life, every subtle trace
Flows in the ripples of the air
Becoming hazy, blurred, like bubbles that inflate
Slowly spinning, rolling, swelling, growing
Ring-shaped fragments of language scatter in the void
Every long self-reflection and recall
Bring a flood of memories in the tremor
Reminiscences interweave, cluttered together
Like a fragment machine, or a carousel shadow
Repeating, folding, and reflecting the faces
They overlap each other and flicker and fade away
The long melody washes down and slides away
Time no longer flows linearly forward
Past and present, future and now will meet
We merge into one again]
