Shan Hua Hua (b.1995) is a video artist, 2022 graduated from RCA in currently living and working in
London. Shan’s
work is
often centred on the symbiotic relationship between pop culture and social
change, and our thoughts on identity. She specialises in collecting the forms
of things in different time and space from her personal experience, and through
the narrative method of digital identity and multiple time and space
discussion, she reshapes the original forms of things to create a chaotic time
and space so that these unrelated things can have a natural collision and
development.
Shan‘s film THEY 2022 won the Best
Animation Award at the London international Web & Short Film Festival and
Best Fashion Film at the Madonie Palermo Film Festival. I Can Hear You, in an
unfamiliar Way was finalist for Asvoff A
Shaded View, run by Diane Pernet, and The Novelist 2024 won the Best Virtual

In this series of video works, there are a total of 9 character images, which are the artist's exploration of their own personalities. In this process of exploration, the artist caricatures each aspect of her personality in a self-deprecating manner. They are active, safe, serious, proactive, cautious, creative, calm, sinister and hysterical.
The artist herself voices these 9 characters, simulating a common language of prehistoric communities, and invites composer Niu Dou to blend their voices in an a cappella style, breaking down the 'Tower of Babel' of human language.
Shan Hua's work focuses on the relationship between individuals and collectives, and raises historical questions across faith, race, gender, and multilingualism.
