Description
Staged Fictions is a group exhibition featuring three artists—Patty Chang (New York), Ho Tzu Nyen (Singapore) and Adrian Wong (Hong Kong)—whose works explore strategies of making and re-making real and imagined narratives through film, video, performance and installation. Comprised of mostly video and installation, the works featured in Staged Fictions are unified by their departure from singular, essentialist, or fixed points of origin. Instead they embrace moments of bifurcation, ambiguity and obscurity through blurring the lines between performance and choreography and real-life documentation. Such contemporary processes of mythmaking are designed to unveil the construction of culture and the body of ‘history’. As these predominantly filmic explorations reveal, invented encounters, imagined histories and fabricated scenarios can overlap with the realities and attributes of our contemporary condition, giving way to an ‘embodiment of making’ that is at once unavoidably real and eminently imagined.
Artists：Patty CHANG; HO Tzu Nyen; Adrian WONG
