Artist Profile

Sinny Xu is a multidisciplinary artist based in China, working across photography, installation, performance, and painting. She graduated from the Department of Experimental Art at Shandong University of the Arts in 2022. Repetition is central to her artistic practice, serving as both a visual methodology and a way to examine everyday routines, social behaviours, and the boundaries between individual and collective experience. Through the use of varied materials and processes, including traditional embroidery, Xu transforms familiar objects and records of daily life into expansive installations. Her work considers how seemingly identical actions and forms contain subtle differences, suggesting that repetition is not simply the reproduction of sameness but a process through which variation, creativity, and transformation emerge. By drawing attention to the rhythms of ordinary existence, she explores the accumulation of experience and the ways repeated actions shape personal histories and wider social realities.
