Cecilie Fang

Cecilie Fang is an anti-disciplinary artist and writer from China and Denmark, based in Amsterdam. Generated through writing, her process-oriented work unfolds across performance, publication, material micro-performativity, and installation.
Her practice is a continuous auto-ethnographic research—working through and with language. Raised between Mandarin, English, and Danish, she meditates on translation, language access, and how words are charged with history. Her work explores how meaning is produced, how it fails, and how it might be reinterpreted through speculative modes of languaging that resist dominant linguistic norms.

at the end of the sentence, it rotted is a performing sound installation.

Water is pumped into the pond and reversed every four hours, performing a slow transformation where rust accumulates and biomaterial decays. A live soundscape, programmed as an evolving ecosystem, sonifies the writing strokes, reproducing them in cycles similar to mold and microbial life.

When language defines who is included and who is not, at the end of the sentence, it rotted seeks a pre- or post-language rooted in affect, in decay, and in the body. Locating resistance in unlearning fluency, the work turns to the rotting and the misread as a ground for speculative speech.
