Moses Tan’s work explores histories that intersect with queer theory and politics while looking at melancholia and shame as points of departure. Working with drawing, video, and installation, Tan’s interests lie in the use of subtlety and codes in the articulation of narratives. Tan’s sculptural exploration considers the agency of queer individuals within institutional structures wherein heteronormativity takes center stage. Influenced by queer inhumanisms and the notion of the body as an allegorical landscape, the works are responses to the corporeal body, queerness, and abstraction.
