Portia Yuran Li
Becoming
Sculpture
2023
Portia Yuran Li’s works are inspired by artefacts, religious myths, and intimate relationships. She constantly responds to the dual enmity and interdependence of human and machine, the collision of nature and technology, and the porous boundary between reality and myth.
Portia sees herself as a prophet or psychic and her sculptures and performance generate a closed-loop narrative which focuses on bringing up the sensation feeling of the viewers.
Graduated from Goldsmiths Fine Arts in 2019, and she is based in London now. She has curated and organised body workshops and performances at the Old Operating Theatre Museum in London, the London School of Economics and Political Science Saw Swee Hock Student Centre and the Shijiazhuang Wanying Art Centre. Part of her works has been exhibited in London, Trenton and Shanghai. She is now the director of Roarrr Theatre, which features the immersive musical family show.
