Sarah Choo Jing: Dancing Without Touching
Artist Sarah Choo Jing creates a time warp at Yeo Workshop where a Chinese opera performer, singer, cabaret girl, boxer and jester relive the bygone age of amusement parks. This immersive installation comprises a video sculpture, digital prints and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) of the performers.
Choo’s practice involves image-making and photography that blur the boundaries between history and speculative fiction. For this installation, she presents her subjects in constructed situations, allowing them to interpret, respond and perform within the site.
