Alone Time - Solo Exhibition
August 21 to October 23, 2021
Satellite Program of MOMENTA 2021
Alone Time is a series of brightly coloured photographs of couples sharing intimate interactions; however, each “couple” proves to be a single model, appearing as both the male and female character in the same frame. By demonstrating an individual body’s capacity to engagingly and believably embody two genders, this project questions the mainstream depiction of binary gender roles.

Floralia VR - VR Program
August 21 to October 23, 2021
Satellite Program of MOMENTA 2021
Inspired by the writings of Donna J. Haraway, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Greg Egan, the work plunges us into a speculative future, where samples of then extinct plant species are preserved and displayed in a virtual archive room. Through editing and visual strategies, this archive room is sporadically transformed under the effect of interference caused by the memory emanating from the listed plants, revealing traces of a past that continues to haunt the place. Floralia is a simulation of ecosystems born from the fusion of technology and organic matter, where past and future coexist in a perpetual tension of the present.
