Sin Wai Kin

  • Through performance, moving image, writing, and print, artist Sin Wai Kin (formerly known as Victoria Sin) uses speculative fiction to interrupt normative processes of desire, identification, and objectification. For Sin, drag is an intentional practice that addresses the reification of prescribed and homogenous imagery of the body, gender, and sexuality perpetuated by technologies of representation and systems of looking. Referencing their own embodied knowledge, Sin’s drag personas fabricate narratives of fantasy that critically reflect on the complex experience of performing the physicality of the body, while mediated by various and intertwined social structures. Sin is a leading voice amongst a generation of image-makers challenging representations of gender in art and society.
