Jessica Hyunjin Kim

Jessica Hyunjin Kim (b.1994, U.S.A), is a South Korean multi-media artist currently based in London. Often using traditional materials, she explores the relationship and limitations of existence in space and the presence of in between-ness, that which often fails or collapses clear identification of both subject and object. She refers to ‘blurred existence’, but that is still real and regarded as an other.

One of her most recent project is a series entitled, <SPACE MUSIC>, which was composed to add movement of the body in order to play gaps and distance in between notes.

Li Yilei

Li Yilei is a Chinese artist and composer working and living in London.

With a background in fine art and sound art, Li’s body of work sought to investigate alternative modes of listening, reflecting upon the tacitness and transience of existential occurrences.

Li’s work often incorporates with sound, body, found materials, poetry, events, daily objects and broken/damaged instruments.

Investigating serendipitous encounters between beings and their environment, the muted state, the unheard, the disabled and untrained voices.

The overarching dialogue around the tacit and the disabled state stems from Li’s idiosyncratic relationship with the outside world as a person on the autistic spectrum.

Their early classical training in violin sparked an interest in the physique of instruments, and the interests in the alternative use of conventional instruments due to the rejection of the Eurocentric formalities of classical music.

In 2016, Li founded Non Dual Collective, focusing on curating live events for ESEA emerging artists. Li has been releasing records and performing internationally since 2018.
