Binyu Chen (Bing) is a Chinese artist based between London and Berlin, working across performance, sound, installation, and text. Their practice embraces amateurism and intentional chaos, creating spaces where the boundaries between subject and object, human and nonhuman, visible and invisible become fluid.
Bing’s work is centered on one question: how do we resist discipline in an era that disguises control as freedom? They examine how law, technology, language, and media silently shape our emotions and behaviours. From poems disguised as delivery labels to graffiti reimagined in gallery spaces, Bing explores how language positions us and how anonymity can become a political strategy of resistance. Their performances merge sincerity with absurdity, bringing everyday gestures and social media expressions into an artistic context that questions what it means to be seen, heard, or understood.
At GlogauAIR, Bing collects discarded objects from the streets of Berlin to create a self-playing sound installation. These waste materials, carrying traces of human history and culture, become active agents telling their own stories. In the performance, Bing joins the system— disturbing and rebalancing it—to blur the boundaries between object and subject. By letting these objects play by themselves instead of being controlled by humans, the work seeks to break the binary structure between human and nonhuman, and to imagine new forms of coexistence through sound, rhythm, and chance.
