ARTIST

Tianjun Li: when all the sounds become my voices

Tianjun Li (b. 1999, CN/FI), also known as Timjune, is a Helsinki-based interdisciplinary and vocal-sonic artist whose practice integrates lens-based media, performance, and voice to reimagine human-nature relationships within contemporary socio-ecological contexts. Li holds a MA Degree in Visual Cultures, Curating, and Contemporary Art, with a Minor in Sound in New Media from Aalto University, Finland.

Born with synesthesia and a vocal range spanning over four octaves, Li transforms natural and social landscapes into reconstructed images, soundscapes, and vocal performances. Li’s works craft fable-like reimagined utopias on grounded realities, challenging perceptions of identity and coexistence in the Anthropocene.
