Lingyi Li is a New York–based multidisciplinary artist and image-maker working across photography, digital environments, interactive media, and material-based practice. Drawing from queer and Asian experiences, his work examines how images and materials—both virtual and tangible—can hold emotional tension, vulnerability, desire, and transformation.
Moving between image-making and object-making, Lingyi explores the shifting relationships between body and material, surface and sensation, and identity and performance. Across physical and digital processes, his practice is shaped by a sensitivity to form, texture, light, and the ways bodies and objects are represented, constructed, and perceived.
He holds a BFA in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts and an MPS from New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program.
