About Ming Wong
Ming Wong is a Singapore-born, Berlin-based artist working with performance, video, photography and installation to uncover the slippages that haunt ideas of authenticity and originality. Through a re-reading of world cinema and popular culture artefacts, his artistic research and practice explore the politics of representation and how culture, gender and identity are constructed, reproduced and circulated.
