李湘东
李湘东（Xiangdong Li）出生于中国深圳，是一位艺术家、旅行者，也是一名驾驶者。他的创作围绕“移动”展开，将其视为与世界建立连接的重要方式。于他而言，移动不仅是一种穿越空间的行为，更是一种跨越地理、文化与社会边界的身体策略。他将移动视为一种具表演性与实验性的社会介入方法——通过不断迁移，他进入陌生空间，与他者建立短暂的关系，并在运动中思考身份如何被持续生成与塑造。
他的创作涵盖摄影、装置、绘画与行为（表演）艺术，往往源于自发性的旅行与实地路线探索。这些作品关注人在陌生环境中如何建立临时性的连接，以及这些互动如何被误解、不确定性与文化差异所塑造。对他来说，“误解”并非沟通的失败，而是一种生成性的空间——它揭示了人与人关系的脆弱性，同时为新的理解与知识生成提供可能。
在当代社会中，快速移动、结构性分裂与不稳定性不断加剧，李湘东通过持续的迁移与具身在场，对归属的边界、语言的局限、身份的多重性，以及跨文化共存的条件提出质问。在不断变动的轨迹中，他持续追问：当我们不断移动时，我们携带着怎样的记忆、历史与连接？而这些元素又如何在移动之中被放大、误读、遗忘或转化？

Li Xiangdong
Dong (李湘东) is a Chinese artist born in Shenzhen. He is a driver, traveler, and artist whose creative practice centers on the act of movement as a means of connecting with the world. For Dong, mobility is not merely a form of transit, but a bodily strategy for crossing geographic, cultural, and social boundaries. He treats movement as a performative and experimental mode of social engagement—one that allows him to enter unfamiliar spaces, forge temporary relationships, and reflect on how identity is continuously shaped through motion.
His work spans photography, installation, painting, and performance, often grounded in self-directed journeys that trace routes of exploration and encounter. These projects investigate how individuals form temporary connections in unfamiliar environments, and how such interactions are shaped by miscommunication, uncertainty, and cultural difference. For Dong, misunderstanding is not simply a failure of communication, but a generative space—one that reveals the fragility of human connection while offering possibilities for renewed understanding and knowledge-making.
In a contemporary world shaped by rapid mobility and structural fragmentation, Dong uses sustained movement and embodied presence to question the boundaries of belonging, the limits of language, the multiplicity of identity, and the conditions of coexistence in cross-cultural settings. Within this shifting terrain, he poses a persistent question: As we continue to move, what forms of memory, history, and connection do we carry with us? And how are these elements amplified, misread, forgotten, or transformed through the act of moving?
