Yen Chun Lin is a Berlin-based Taiwanese artist whose practice dwells in the state of falling—falling into sleep, into wakefulness, into the unknown. In her Syn-sleep Listening Experiment, she encountered a dragonfly. Guided by this delicate companion, she explores various nuanced states of being and becoming within their shared environments. These encounters become portals through which she attunes to the subtle vibrations of existence and the shifting edges of perception.

Her practice manifests through spatial installations that interweave sculpture, soundscapes, dreams, performance, collaboration, and speculative narrative. Often inspired by the hypnotic yet awakening rhythms found in nature, her sonic compositions invite audiences to slip into a collective dream—where dripping whispers and the breath of Paiwan’s lalingedan carry a subtle sense of presence. Yen focuses on the tenuous and sensuous space of sound and consciousness, and the misty zone between the “here” and “elsewhere”—a realm that emerges beyond the physical and material frame of the work.

Her works have been exhibited and performed at the Institute of Contemporary Arts London, Taipei Fine Arts Museum, MONOM Berlin, Creamcake Berlin, SAVVY Contemporary, Skanes Konstförening Malmö, and CAC Vilnius, among others.

Yen Chun Lin will be a part of the all-night Mimer performance/installation Here, a nut falls twice.
