Yin Yin Wong
artistic research - autobiographical - Diaspora - film - sculpture - drawing
Yin Yin Wong is a multidisciplinary artist working across a range of media including film, sculpture, drawing and site specific installation. Previously as Publication Studio Rotterdam (2015–2021) they worked largely around themes of distribution, dissemination and circulation of visual culture through publishing artist books and curating exhibitions departing from text.
Currently they are researching possible bridges and juxtapositions between their modernist graphic design education and their Chinese-Malaysian diasporic upbringing. By focusing on themselves as a site where different legacies and languages converge and complicate each other, Wong looks for overlaps that speak cross-culturally. Through an auto-ethnographic lens they question the dominant frameworks that permeate almost every aspect of their lives.
