NING WEN
Ning Wen's artwork focuses on themes of taboo, porn, and erotica. Its productions encompass different media, including VR, immersive theatre, sex portrait, participatory video art... etc.
Ning Wen's artwork appears at the intersection between the porn industry and contemporary art. Ning Wen invites the audience to take part in participatory art in order to exhibit the relationship between sex, body, and power. Using AV as the carrier of artistic behavior and ideas, he attempts to transform pornography, as a stigmatized object, into the power of going beyond the boundaries. This would loosen and tease the existing hierarchy and taboos. It turned out that what Ning Wen was exploring was not about porn or erotica itself, but looking back at life experiences through these.
"Sex is a wasteland, yet from this array of intimate encounters is the ego molded." -NINGWEN-
寧文
寧文創作領域包含：虛擬實境、現場藝術、沈浸式劇場、藝術攝影、參與式藝術、加密藝術...等。
其作品主要發生在情慾影視與當代藝術之間，邀請觀者加入參與式藝術，顯現出性、身體、權力間的關係。寧文透過藝術行為，將慾望從被污名化的客體，反轉為踰越的力量，去鬆動固有的階層與禁忌。最終，不再討論情慾本身，而是透過情慾回望生命。
作品多次在國內外展出與獲獎：美國VR新視角獎、ELLE新銳時尚短片創作大賽、美國邁阿密錄像首獎、藝術自由日評審獎、香港ifva、維也納影展、比利時影展、義大利影展、德國柏林影展、舊金山影展、台灣酷兒藝術節座談、臺北數位藝術中心DAC座談、Art Taipei NFT短講講師......。
「性是死的，卻在各種性經驗中誕生自我。」-寧文
