陈孟涵以准考古学的方式进行雕塑,装置和纸本的创作。她以作品为证据编织线索,还原遗失或推测性历史,并游走于史实,历史性叙事和幻想文学之间。她常常提取自然中的符号与隐喻,通过数字生成和重塑,与自然拾得物相并置。通过仿制历史语境,她的创作反思社会构建记忆在当今数字时代中的虚实边界。


Born in Beijing in 1998, she graduated from the Department of Art History at New York University in 2019 and from the Department of Fine Arts at Chelsea College of Art in 2022. She currently lives and works in London.

Chen works across sculpture, installation and print-making in a quasi-archeological approach. Her work serves as evidence, leaving clues for a lost or speculative history, which hovers between facts, historical narratives and fantasy fictions. Chen extracts nature’s symbols and archetypes, digitally restores and transforms them to juxtapose with found objects. Through setting a tone in the past, her practice reflects upon the social construct of memory and its boundaries between reality and stimulation in the digital age.
