Chinese, b. 1975; lives and works in Taipei, Taiwan
Using installation and photography, Chen Lingyang is a pioneering artist who began contextualizing the subject of femininity in relation to Chinese traditional culture in the 1990s. Chen’s best-known series, Twelve Flower Months (1999–2000), came into being when she spent a year working from home, considering her body and the passage of time intimately. By evoking private and public imageries, the series simultaneously relates to the individualistic and collective experience of women living in China.
