Xuanru Wang is a visual artist with an interdisciplinary practice, interested in post-modern structuralism and psychoanalytic theory. She uses video art as the primary medium, images as her inner screen, and summons and projects her inner portrait and unconscious hallucinations into images.

​

Xuanru got inspiration from the film theorist Christian Metz. According to his film semiotics, the Cinematic State represents a waking daydream state. She thus sees images as an Imaginary Signifier that could demonstrate people's memories, desires, and traumas through condensation, displacement, symbolisation, and representation.

​

Her work focuses on the infinite rupture and confrontation in the contemporary social context. It aims to reflect on social and cultural system operation. 

​

In the next stage of creation, She will continue to focus on the hysteria and collective trauma of public life. For example, the political depression pervaded Chinese society in the post-epidemic era. As proposed by Lacan, the discourse has four essences: master, university, hysteric, and analyst. She would like to see images as a text that can be analyzed and thus produce an analyst discourse to compensate for its general absence in the discursive structure of contemporary society.
