Yi Xin Tong is an artist and fisherman. He uses multimedia installation, site-specific projects, video, and sound to analyze seemingly disparate social conditions, and our contradictory relationships with ourselves and with other living beings, objects, and cultural entities. His experience living on the outskirts of New York City led him to a long-term multimedia fishing project that challenges the iconic image of the city as the pinnacle of human civilization, and seeks relief, nature, and weird things. Tong’s work has been exhibited at BRIC Biennial, Guangzhou Airport Biennale, UCCA, Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts, NARS Foundation, MOCA Shanghai, CAFA Art Museum, and chi K11 art museum.
