About
Naichen Pan is a multimedia artist and curator currently based in New York, USA. Growing up in China, Naichen initiated their difficult relationship with art in 2014, since then their practice has been driven by the untranslatable nature of languages, which turned into a body of works spanning from animation and sound art, to drawings.
“All of them are sincere, but none of them are genuine.”
Naichen is a mute constantly working on appropriating languages.
This is an autobiography dedicated to the artist, as well as Asian women experiencing an identity crisis. Yellow-skinned, opaque, cheaply-made, catering to the Western, feminine shape, it was a projection of myself while it was the opposite of my nature. Taking the fortune cookie, which originated in California, US, in the 1920s and gradually became the symbol of Chinese culture, as a projection of their identity crisis as an Asian woman, the artist confessed the confusion in multiple aspects: the intergeneration gap, the shared physical and mental experience as a female, and how they are facing the gaze of post-colonialism, catering to the Western audience, in an era of a polarized society.
