Jincheng Deng is interested in how objects can be manifested with independence, autonomy and sociality in art. He works with quotidian objects in everyday settings, to call for collective scrutinisation on the quotidian environment. Objects in his works can be a bed, a vacuum cleaner, a banana, or even humans.

Through manipulating the presentation of objects in installations, his works try to evoke explorations of human’s functional and psychological constructions of objects. That is, the ‘utilisation in imagination' - each person’s special at-hand utilisation booklet about ‘what and how I am going to make use of this?’.

Deng’s output is to engage human and non-human actors, to explore symbiotic relations between objects, and to create new perspectives of objects for everyday life. In recent project ‘with’, he has produced installations that sutured organic and inorganic objects to navigate the phenomenological and ontological existence of everyday objects.
