About Qijun Liu

Qijun Liu received her MFA in Fine Art from the University of Southern California and her BA in Visual Art with a minor in Art History from the University of San Diego. Her works tend to explore and reflect on observed phenomena through a conceptual practice that uses video, installation, sculpture and performance. A sense of absurdity and repetition are often embedded in her work. Rather than imposing a solution to a psychological conflict or societal construct through the works, she aims to ask questions about these observed phenomena. Many of her works cohere around the word ‘relations.’ She draws inspiration from observations in her daily life, a mundane living state that everyone experiences, trying to see the social or cultural factors that have formed our ways of living and capture the ephemeral and subtle connections between things.
