Sin Wai Kin

Explore the universe of artist Sin Wai Kin, populated by a cast of characters who challenge ways of thinking.

Sin’s practice pivots around the use of speculative fiction within performance, moving image, writing and print, to question the idealised image and the collective gaze. Their work creates fantasy narratives, to interrupt normative processes around issues of desire, identification, and objectification. Sin uses drag as a means to reimagine our relationships to our bodies and our bodies' relationship to the world.

Sin Wai Kin was nominated for the Turner Prize 2022 and shown at Tate Liverpool, 20 October 2022 – 19 March 2023.
