Ying Lin is an artist. She was born and raised in the Hakka region of China, and is a native speaker of the Hakka language Tingbei piece of the Tingzhou accent. She uses a research-based narrative approach to show different intersections and perspectives. Her work investigates themes of text, fragmented memory and history through sculpture, painting and audiovisual installations. Due to her dual identity as Hakka and Chinese, she inevitably maintains a high interest in reflections on violence and politics.
She holds academic degrees in fine arts (university of Art and Design Linz-B.A.) & Art in Context (berlin university of the arts-M.A.)
