Linqing Liu

Linqing Liu (b. 1998) is an artist from China, currently based in London. She studied Fine Art in the Graduate Diploma programme before entering the Photography Department at the Royal College of Art. Linqing Liu's practice mainly focuses on exploring the relationship between the individual and the community. For her, photography is seen as a form of spiritual performance, an inner description, and a desire to narrate subjectivity from the material world. 

“In my opinion, every time I talk about my thoughts and opinions at work, I am raising my awareness of myself.”

Linqing's work is primarily in photography, but she also explores other media, including sculpture, printmaking and moving image.
