Hangyan Chen,  a devoted Moomin fan
Artist and researcher currently living and working in Karlsruhe, Germany. Her interdisciplinary practice works across photography, moving image, installation, publishing, and artist books. It often begins with elements that are easily overlooked or left in the background: corners, found objects, scanned documents, archival images, and recurring details from everyday surroundings. By reorganizing these fragmentary materials, she explores memory, displacement, time, and language as they are inscribed in daily life, while asking how the ordinary, the peripheral, and the background can become central objects of looking.

“Even if Moomin doesn't receive understanding from those around him, he will still strive towards his ideals, believing that there are surely many people who will applaud and encourage him.”
