Enbo Chen (b.1990)
enbo.chen@icloud.com
Born and raised in China
Based in Helsinki, Finland

Enbo is a performer exploring the dialogue between natural and synthetic breath, silence, and resonance. Their live performances combine extended voice with the psychoacoustic interplay of human organs and machines. Through ritualistic hyper-presence, they investigate the thresholds between oblivious spectral whispers and visceral cries.
