Insomnia, 2018, HD Video, 03:28
The video artwork Insomnia was created by Wang Chen while she was an artist-in-residence in Singapore. In her video, Wang fuses performance with moving images projected onto a black background to construct a visual narrative. She intricately weaves a metaphorical representation of three different places: her hometown of Jinan, the city where she now lives, Melbourne, and Singapore. Through this artistic fusion, she elegantly conveys the sense of loneliness associated with her diasporic journey.
