    common cold, Yīfán Hé, 2022, mixed media installation

    Common cold takes inspiration from this monster whose neck elongates and whose head floats around when she dreams. The heads are made of silicon, one dripping nose liquid, another breathing mechanically.

Yīfán Hé – MA/MFA

My work concerns the queer mobility of embodiments in the muddy space between the url and the irl. I send out edible (love) letters, animate sculptural objects, and make videos, video games, and prints. In the process of making/playing/eating, these works challenge_the_borders_of and initiate_relationships_between our extended avatars across different worlds. ༊*·˚Morphing me and my characters out of the assigned-at-birth wet-wares/avatars; I feel uncomfortable living in this body_________ ׂׂૢ་༘࿐
