The artist often works with her video through photographs, documents as well as writing, the act of collecting and textual writing is a recurring metaphor in her creative practice, and the search for different perceptions of source time always pulls in her writing.

韓倩的創作以不同的時空和歷史線索,展開對個體知覺和身分記憶的思考。 她試圖將創作作為不斷往返過去與現在的旅程,尋找外部世界和內在經驗共生的可能和對話。藝術家常常通過照片、文獻以及寫作進行影像創作,收集的行為和文本寫作是她創作實踐中反覆出現的修辭,對來源不同時間感知的探尋始終牽引她的書寫。她的創作實踐以錄影、裝置、行為、版畫與寫作為媒介。目前她的工作圍繞著家庭三代的歷史展開,探討與此纏繞的自然資源與政治話語,以及個體命運在其中的遭遇。
