Dream, Body, Coordinate

UArt Gallery presents a solo exhibition by interdisciplinary artist Yilun Liu, exploring the relationship between the body, consciousness and material reality. Through moving image, sound, performance and installation, Liu investigates how intangible experiences—such as dreams, fear and memory—can leave physical traces upon the body and surrounding materials.

 

Featured works include Dream, Nightmare and Physical Metaphysics or Metaphysical Physics. Together, they transform bodily movement, internal sound, vibration and pressure into visual and spatial forms. Rather than interpreting dreams as symbols, Liu considers the body as an instrument capable of recording experiences that cannot be objectively witnessed or preserved.

 

The exhibition invites audiences to question where reality begins: within the external world, or through the physical and sensory processes by which we experience it.

About the Artist

Yilun Liu is a London-based multidisciplinary artist and interactive designer whose practice spans installation, performance, moving image and creative technology. With a background in architecture, spatial design and performance, she explores the relationships between the body, identity, memory, power and the environments in which human experience takes shape. Drawing on embodied cognition, Liu sees the body not as a passive subject, but as an active system that perceives, responds to and reshapes its surroundings. Through immersive and multi-sensory experiences, her work blurs the boundaries between the individual and the environment, physical and digital space, and lived experience and technologically mediated reality.
