Ep.25 | Performance artist Florence Lam on magical thinking, panpsychism and vulnerability.
Description
In this episode I talked with performance artist Florence Lam who returned to Hong Kong two years. We delved into her concepts of magical thinking, anthropomorphism and what she meant by elastifying worldviews.
Florence Lam (b.1992 in Vancouver, Canada) lives and works in Hong Kong. She works with wonder and magical thinking to fuse together current moral issues with child-like world views through performance art, poetry, video, and sound. The aim is to explore the fertility and sterility of the mind manifested through the properties of the biological body, and language as a hint to the evolution of human values and spiritual understanding. She obtained her MFA from Iceland Academy of the Arts in 2017 and her BA Fine Art from Central Saint Martins in 2014.
