Tang Kwok-Hin
b. Kam Tin, Hong Kong; Lives and works Hong Kong.
Tang Kwok Hin is a multi-media artist whose work and ideas are deeply rooted in introspection. Somewhat autoethnographic, Tang Kwok Hin explores his indigenous background and life experiences, to evince a sense of place and self within the work. Tang's practice intertwines with his personal journey and the complexity of his surroundings, where he grapples with the nuances of the extreme present. Through various mediums like objects, installations, moving images, performances, and collages, he delves into universal emotions, thoughts, and essences amidst chaos, drawing on his own lived experiences. His works touch upon themes of growth, inheritance, locality, freedom, urbanization, consumption, nature, politics, norms, and existence, reflecting a profound engagement with the intricacies of contemporary life.
