Yim Sui Fong

  • Through moving image and video installations, Yim Sui Fong’s practice is primarily focused on her interest in performativity; how an individual or collective body navigates the lines of social mobility in an increasingly controlled public sphere. Utilizing movement and scored actions, Yim explores the uneasiness that individuals face today, highlighting the relationship amongst people and the potential found in collectivity. Through choreographed propositions, her work provides a platform to connect people's perceptions, while unpacking the perplexity and imagination of social phenomena. Yim’s work often intervenes in real-life space, or borrows from it, revealing relationships among people, objects, and places. Another aspect of Yim’s practice is her interest in oral history, appearing in her semi-fictional and semi-realistic audio-visual narratives. Aside from her practice as an artist, Yim is also an active figure in Hong Kong as co-founder of the artist-run organization Rooftop Institute and member of the artist collective L sub, where she further connects with the larger community.
