Hongxi Li (b. 1996, Xiamen, China) is a London-based artist whose concept-driven practice spans sculpture, installation, performance, moving image, and photography. Her work examines how social systems and power structures shape behaviour, emotion, and the body, with a focus on post-communist and Sino-capitalist contexts.

Li frequently draws on familiar objects and design—from furniture to architectural forms—using them as both research material and artistic medium to question control, territory, and systems of belief. Her installations often provide spatial frameworks for performance narratives. Central to her practice is Jolene, a recurring fictional persona who appears across projects as both character and medium. Dressed in grey corporate attire, Jolene embodies an East Asian female archetype through which Li distorts social roles and explores collective pressure, aspiration, and emotional discomfort. Through subtle humour, Li’s work reveals the fragile balance between individual agency and the structures that shape contemporary life.
