Antone LIU was born in 1999 in Anshan, China. He obtained his BA in Fashion Design from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology in 2021, and is now attending Class Willem De Rooij at the Hochschule für Bildende Künste–Städelschule in Frankfurt. He currently lives and works in Frankfurt am Main and Wuxi. Deeply invested in transcultural narratives and the history of design and manufacturing, his research and works tickle the precariousness and shifts in the perceptions of worldviews. Liu repeatedly deliberates and finds unexpected intersections among these evolving paths. His works capture liminal intersections within evolving trajectories, constructing specious experiential fields where humor becomes a Trojan horse for cognitive intervention. LIU creates performative surfaces with handcrafted practice, and gentle detonations of perceptual norms occur when cracks in reality’s cosmetic surface are pried open by the crowbar of precision craftsmanship.
