Qi Heng was born in Guangdong. He graduated in 2018 with a BA in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts, and in 2023 from the Central Academy of Fine Arts with a major in the direction of experimental video art research. His practice involves video and writing, and he mainly thinks about how to become a “storyteller”. Recently, he often used specific animals and plants as the source of creation and research, attempting to reproduce the multiple emotions and complex entanglements ignored by mainstream Eco-Narrative. Collecting and organizing stories is an indispensable task for new Eco-Narrative, and Catriona Mortimer-Sandilands’ queer ecologies are his effective theoretical support in reconnecting and constructing relationships and narratives between humans and non-humans. Identified as queer, he has been looking for forms and structures that overlap with “misfortune”, which leads him to focus not only on marginalized communities and queer flora and fauna, but also on all the “ta” who encounter discrimination, exploitation, violence, displacement, and depression.
