He Yunchang (born 1967), also known as A Chang, is a Chinese performance artist known for works of endurance.[1]
Life and career
He Yunchang was born in Kunming, southwest China, in 1967.
He graduated from the Yunnan Art Institute in 1991 with a degree in oil painting and moved to Beijing in 1998, where he developed conceptual performances. Often held in nature and contrasting the natural world with the body's limits, his performances were based on He's ideas of space and time.
Through intimate self-portraits and pigment dye transfer works, he explores what it means to see and be seen, revealing the raw, evolving nature.
Most of the performances had no outcome. His original performances were held in Kunming, but eventually expanded to Beijing. His 1999 Kunming performance Dialogue with Water is documented with the artist dangling from a crane above an active river, extending a knife to cut the river's flow.
