I offer you my vitality for your pleasure ♡
Kit Wu Bylett is an emerging installation and performance artist and garment designer based in Eora. Kit explores alchemies of transformation through the cultural currencies of beauty, fashion and the viral trends of her social zeitgeist.
Equipped with Chinese philosophical mysticism and a queer lens, Kit’s work indulges in the comedic contradictions and curious compatibilities she identifies between pop culture and traditional lore and practices. Specifically, Kit examines shifting collective and personal desire as expressed in what we consume and seek out, and the evolving language of these desires in the advent of growing digital intimacy and new forms of commercial ambiguity. Their work augments familiar spaces such as retail stores, clinics, and clubs and moves between online platforms and IRL experiences to capture complex dimensions of desire such as joy and futility, trash and luxury, avarice and impermanence.
Kit has presented solo and collaborative projects with Firstdraft, Performance Space, Verge Gallery, Cement Fondu, Dark Mofo, Pari, Tiles, Our Neon Foe, Blacktown Arts Centre, Durden and Ray (LA), Articulate Project Space, Parramatta Lanes Festival with support from Parramatta Artists Studios, Sircuit, The Bearded Tit, and the Eora Ballroom scene, as well as ephemeral installations for club events with local collectives Worship, MSG4000, and Synergy.
In 2026, Kit will present a work in collaboration with performance artist Red Rey for the Biennale of Sydney, and is the costume and set designer for an upcoming production by Dance Makers Collective.
