Lichun Tseng
Lichun TSENG (1979, Taiwan) is a Taiwanese artist based in the Netherlands. In 2019, she graduated from the AKV St. Joost School of Art and Design in Den Bosch and started the production studio Toward Ziran. She is interested in exploring the experience of the vital dimensions of life, absorbing and partaking in it, and grasping its wholeness, in which reflective contemplation is a profound mental drive. In the last few years, she has approached her research and practice mainly with 16mm film, installation and performance. Tseng is a member of Filmwerkplaats Rotterdam. Her co-directed short film Shunyata screened at IFFR in 2021.
