Cyshimi | Viviane Lee Hsu (1998)

Transdisciplinary artist based in São Paulo.

Chinese and Taiwanese Brazilian. 

Their research explores issues of ancestry, identity, beauty and body through sculptures, performance, digital art and nails. For Cyshimi, nails are “Performative Sculptures”, a term coined by the artist who affirms that their nails are not just a static object, but a sculpture that shapes the performativity of bodies. They are a symbol of resistance, empowerment and identity. Cyshimi sees each nail as a new world, built by shapes, colors and textures that, when together, cross those who see and use them.
