Yunda Chen is a multidisciplinary artist, born in China and currently based in France. His artistic practice revolves around several lines of inquiry, which include media violence, the realm of political objects, and artist's books and editions. At the core of his artistic gestures lies "détournement," an approach that allows for the exploration of the plasticity of editing, video, and it's installation. Chens work has been displayed in France, China and Saudi Arabia.
