Jingjing Xu

House of Unending (2023)

Jingjing Xu is a London-based interdisciplinary artist experimenting with moving image and digital media. Xu's work adopts a critical feminist perspective, using the female body as a narrative starting point to explore how individuals navigate personal desire – and find their own space – within the constraints of social structures and cultural expectations. Inspired by Eastern aesthetics, her work often uses allegorical or poetic visual language to reflect on themes of consciousness, the awakening of desire and the fragile relationship between ecology and humanity. House of Unending (2023) is rooted in the artist's lived experience as an East Asian woman residing in the UK, and tells the story of a girl confined within an old house. Sisyphus (2025), meanwhile, turns its gaze toward an eternal cycle: the boulder rolls down, only to be pushed up again – transforming what appears to be a futile, repetitive action into a persistent inquiry into the meaning of existence.
