Amir Zainorin is a Malaysian artist working between Malaysia and Denmark.
His interdisciplinary practice spans installation, performance, sculpture, and sound, exploring migration, cultural memory, and identity through the transformation of everyday materials such as maps, passports, vessels, percussion instruments, and gauze.
Working with materials as active agents, he investigates how meaning emerges through the interaction of body, object, and time, where boundaries between the human and non-human become fluid and porous.
Through layering, fragmentation, and transformation, his work reflects on how identity is continuously negotiated through geography, movement, and lived experience.
He has exhibited internationally across Europe and Southeast Asia. His works are held in the collections of the National Art Gallery Malaysia and the Danish Immigration Museum.
He is the founder of the Stateless Mind Pavilion, an initiative dedicated to cross-cultural dialogue and artistic exchange.
