I HAVE BEEN THERE - VANCOUVER
Chun Hua Catherine Dong

About

Chun Hua Catherine Dong’s artistic practice is based in performance art, photography, video, VR, AR and 3D printing within the contemporary context of global feminism. Dong’s work deals with cultural intersections created by globalization and asks what it means to be a citizen of the world today. Working within the gap between body as image and body as experienced reality Dong uses the body—often their own body— as a visual territory in their work and a primary material to activate social commentary on gender, identity, and immigration. Dong currently focuses on art and technology.

I Have Been There is an on-going public intervention performance that explores belonging, diaspora, and existence in public spaces. Each time I travel to a new place, I make a new duvet with Chinese traditional embroidered silk fabric. Covered by the duvet, I lie on the ground of historical sites, landmarks, tourist attractions, and other significant places or events as a sign of negotiating and/or engaging with cultures and spaces.
