Pan Daijing

Pan Daijing devises performances and exhibitions as Gesamtkunstwerke, total works of art in
which architectural intervention, light, sound, and movement interact to tell stories that go beyond
language. Her haunting compositions for voice and electronic instruments combine opera and
noise music. Mute-in which the artist and composer examines silence and liveness-is Pan's
biggest solo exhibition to date. This monograph is published in conjunction with the exhibition
and in collaboration with Tai Kwun Contemporary is the first comprehensive presentation of Pan's
work in the dynamic zone straddling music and visual art.
Pan Daijing, b. 1991 in Guiyang, China, lives as an artist and composer in Berlin. She is one of the
