Jintong Cai

“Intuition and narrativity should never stand in opposition; human intuition is uninterrupted, and every event is made up of uninterrupted intuition and rational choice. Rationality is a beautiful quality inherent in human beings, and choice proves their existence. The moment intuition is spoken, it becomes an event, and the event becomes a trace of intuition. My work is a balance between intuition and narrative. You see the world. You see yourself. The existence of the beauty of rationality and intuition is meaning.”


Jintong is a visual artist. In her works, she tries to construct a new world with continuous intuition, feelings about the world, and the artist's cultural experiences and sources of identity. She uses narrative text to integrate intuition and happenings and finally finds new intuitions and feelings within the text and happenings through sculpture, materials, and images. Her work explores the disregard of human emotions in the face of macro-environmental influences and the fading of history in the face of changing times.

Through sculpture, installation, video and writing, Jintong makes the fictionalised text less of a singular narrativised concept and more of the artist's personal feelings, turning the text into a new sculptural material.

The Death of the Rubber Duck

This work uses narrative text to catch and integrate personal feelings and passing emotions to build new worlds and events and uses absurd stories and sad kernels to connect to material and find the properties of the material itself. Fragmented materials and uninterrupted intuition build a more inclusive and secure intuition. The fragmented, seemingly separate works within the space also represent intuitively divided wholes in the constitution of new subjects.
