Sin Wai Kin’s work encompasses performance, moving image, writing and print, to question the idealised image and the collective gaze. Their work presents speculative fictions to create fantasy narratives that interrupt normative processes around issues of desire, identification, and objectification. Video works and performances are frequently staged at immersive scales and the various drag characters that Sin Wai Kin performs reference discourses on gender, identity, and consciousness. Their work serves to destabilise binaries such as performance and authenticity, self and other, and fantasy and reality.
