PROJECT
Through this residency at thealit and the program short intermissions, I will present my observations and reflections on society over the past few years as a BIPOC queer individual. Using a series of video works, I aim to offer an international and interdisciplinary perspective on both Asian and European societies. By queering the everyday, I intend to highlight the diversity of survival strategies and reimagine the possibilities of queer existence.
The 3 video works I will to present in short intermissions are : Intervention am Esstisch (2022), The Leviathan (2019) and Stilluntitled – Way of Listening (2018).
