Fan Bangyu

Fan Bangyu is an interdisciplinary practitioner working with sculpture, picture, installation, and sound. Their method is akin to drafting a non-linear narrative novel by starting with visual language, auditory language, and smell. They assemble and combine structures and supports designed in context, aiming for the installation site to present visual puzzles, suggest multiple meanings, and pursue an abstraction in language that evokes a mysterious atmosphere and is difficult to categorize precisely.

They are interested in those events defined as history that disrupt and intrude upon the present space and time, which resonates like aftershocks, as the antennas of modern industry connect to the permanently shelved hard drives of hidden narratives. Bangyu wants to explore the topography of sound and the relationships between space and time, viewing it as a container of sound, auditory hallucinations, and memories.

Their sound practices aim to build a space where chaos and cacophony can find their layers in the tapestry of auditory innovation. To disrupt the equilibrium of familiar tonal landscapes, they invite the audience to question preconceived notions of harmony and melody.
