Kris Liu


Master of Fine Arts in Studio, Film, Video, New Media, and Animation

Kris(Qingqian) Liu is a video artist and documentary filmmaker from China. Her approach to art centers around the belief in transparency, wherein she strives to create work that honestly communicates the artist’s thoughts, feelings, and beliefs.
Her interest primarily lies in process-based work, an approach that emphasizes the duration and progression of creating a piece, rather than focusing solely on the final product. This involves a thorough understanding of the nature of the materials used and finding an appropriate form that carries the right political quality.
Captivated by the everyday aspects of life, she is interested in representing these mundane facets through visual mediums.
