Lihong Liu, recently conferred with a practice-based PhD in Fine Art from the University of the Arts London, is an artist whose work spans various mediums, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation. Her earlier sculptural endeavors delved into the intricate relationship between memory and the perception of everyday objects through the nuanced interplay of absence and presence. Currently, Lihong's artistic exploration centers on the utilization of déjà vu as an aesthetic strategy, intertwining with the 'affect' stemming from spatial and temporal displacement associated with déjà vu and the unheimlich (uncanny/unhomely). Her practice delves into philosophical and psychological ideas inherent in the connection between déjà vu and the unheimlich, with a particular emphasis on the displacement experienced away from home. By employing déjà vu and the unheimlich, Lihong aims to illuminate the process of exploring the continuity of home, framing déjà vu and the unheimlich as a peculiar combination of feeling familiar and yet unfamiliar.
