Tianjun Li (b. 1999, CN), also known as Timjune, is a Helsinki-based interdisciplinary visual artist and musician specializing in photography, voice, and performance.

Timjune’s work reimagines the narratives of the human-nature relationship within contemporary contexts—from belonging, immigration to deforestation. Born with synesthesia, he perceives images through sound. His voice, spanning more than four octaves, evokes natural movements and social landscapes, transcending both gender and the divide between humans and nature. By reconstructing images, sounds, and conducting vocal experiments, he transforms photographic art into multi-sensory installations and performances. His work creates surreal, fablelike utopias rooted in harsh realities, highlighting the parallel trajectories between individuals, communities, and the ever-changing natural environment in the Anthropocene era.

Timjune's works have been showcased in exhibitions across the globe, including Contemporary Image Museum (CN), Kotka Biennale (FI), PhotoSCHWEIZ Festival (CH)), Der Greif (DE), Tree Art Museum (CN), Photometria International Photography Festival (GR), Kuca Legata Museum (RS), Paris Photo Day (FR), M. Žilinskas Art Museum (LT), and MuCAT Museum (CI). Recently, Timjune was honored with several awards, including the 1st Prize in the New Talents of Belgrade Photo Month 2023 and the 1839 Photography Award. He has performed and showcased his photography-sound project Today, Tomorrow, and the Tales from the Wind at the OPIA Launch Night (presented by musician Ólafur Arnalds) at Silent Green Berlin (DE), Künstlerstadt Kalbe (DE), Crypt Gallery London (UK), SIM Residency Reykjavik (IS), Kotka Art Biennale (FI), Design Museum of Barcelona (ES), Myymälä2 Gallery (FI), Stockholm Fringe Festival (SE), Outsider Art Festival (Fi), Kulturhus Cyklopen (SE), Skissernas Museum (SE), Helsinki International Artist Programme (FI), and the Finnish Museum of Theatre (FI).

Furthermore, he was recently selected as the cover artist of Modern Weekly’s ‘Vocals Lead to the Future’ Issue, Der Grief 17 (Launch during Paris Photo Fair), and he has been granted a solo exhibition by the Northern Photographic Centre (FI) in 2024 and selected as one of the 30 Best Young European Creative Talents by ADCE to present and perform at the Design Museum of Barcelona.

In addition to his artistic practice, he works with musicians and music companies, such as Warner Music Group, to create photography and album artwork.
