Cyshimi
Cyshimi (Viviane Lee Hsu, 1998) is an artist and designer based in São Paulo.
Her work investigates objects that transform how we relate to the body, image, and everyday life. Between art, fashion, and design, she develops nails and accessories as small wearable sculptures, exploring their potential to alter gestures, provoke new uses, and attract the gaze.
Her practice moves between the functional and the fictional, the commercial and the experimental. She is interested in creating objects that awaken curiosity, presence, and new ways of experiencing the body through beauty, strangeness, and imagination.
Mad Enlatados - The Substance: The Body as Art
The Substance – The Body as Art The body has always been a territory of expression, but new technologies are expanding its possibilities as an artistic, aesthetic, and political medium. In this conversation, transdisciplinary artist Aun Helden, nail artist Cyshimi, and makeup artist, model, and DJ Anddy Williams join Júlia Emiko Matsuda, Creative Director of Mad TV, to discuss how different creative languages transform the body into a platform for creation and experimentation. Through makeup, nails, performance, fashion, and emerging technologies, the session reflects on the body as a space for identity, resistance, and imagination, revealing how contemporary artists are expanding its boundaries and proposing new ways of inhabiting and communicating with the world through it.
