Imaan Sattar and Yuxiu Xiong are an artist duo from China and Pakistan, based in Germany. With backgrounds in industrial design and neuroscience, their practice approaches perception, material, and culture as interdependent systems.

Working across sculpture, drawing, and sound, they employ long-duration processes in which endurance functions as both method and condition. Through repetition and variation, forms shift, identities loosen, and binaries begin to dissolve. They question inherited divisions — self and other, ancient and modern, pure and contaminated — examining how such frameworks restrict the ways in which encounters take place.

Their work investigates non-self, distributed agency, and the instability of free will. They explore how singular forms emerge from chaos and how objects exist not as isolated entities but as relational systems that surround and are surrounded.

For them, collaboration becomes the emergence of a third mind — a shared field of thinking and sensing that exceeds individual authorship. Within this space, they engage multiplicity, interdependence, and the continuous negotiation between bodies, materials, and worlds.
