Multimedia artist and art activist. She works with painting, performance, photography, video art, sculpture, installation, artistic intervention and social healing. Han Bing was born in a primitive village on Yuzhou Island in the eastern Pacific. She migrated to mainland China with her parents as a baby and grew up on a horse farm in Shandong. A self-taught painter, she worked for thirteen years in rural areas before graduating from the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. She currently lives between Berlin and Hamburg.

Han’s early work explores the struggles and desires of ordinary people in China’s “theater of modernization,” analyzing the relationship between people and objects from both natural and social perspectives of daily life. Her works invert ordinary practices, reinvent everyday objects, and invite us to rethink the order of things. Through transgender practices and social interventions grounded in conceptual action, Han Bing also investigates cultural conflict and segregation. Her work transcends the boundaries between art and life, exploring unrestrained emotion and committing to transcending the borders of the universe in terms of race, gender, nation, class, and religious affiliation. From a global humanistic perspective, she documents modern and natural civilization, the fracture between ecological and social culture, and questions how the contemporary spiritual home is configured within the space-time of the mutant gene.
