Born and raised in Beijing, Lexy (also known as Xiao Liangzi) is an artist and researcher, currently based in Bergen. She works with alternative photographic processes, textile, and moving images, viewing photography as a form of performance and action that extends beyond the content of the image. She sees her artistic practice as a way to reach self-awareness and self-transcendence. She is interested in repetitive gestures, durational performance, materiality, exploring how time, perception, and repetition can produce a form of visibility and aesthetic experience.

Her practice is about experimentally performing the making processes- a repeated working process, investigating the ways to interpret pairs of paradoxical ideas around repetition, such as degradation and superposition, interruption and continuity, permanence and impermanence. She tends to interpret her investigations in a philosophical way, trying to build a connected, consistent and poetic theory system through her artistic practice.
