Jialin Long

Jialin Long is a Chinese lens-based visual artist. Her practice focuses on issues in contemporary culture, using new methods of presentation to explore socio-political and feminist issues. Formulating alternative statements and positions, Long challenges stereotypes and rethinks issues facing marginalised communities. Using photography and, more recently, artificial intelligence she actively seeks ways to support and enhance the desired aesthetics and concepts of her intended message.
