Eugenia, Gravity, Video, 4 min 15 sec, 2006

 
     
 

“Gravity” is the synergy between real and imagined spaces. It is impossible to make time stand still, yet through photos, keepsakes and the mass media-fuelled obsession with eternal youth, we try to forever hold on to that perfect moment (itself already passed). Gravity is quite literally a world turned on its head, a woman /child’s lonely wait for that ultimate celebration of youth.

I work predominantly with video, performance and installation to explore issues of identity, cultural stereotypes, gender and race. Diaspora and my background as a Singaporean-Chinese-Australian drive the way I view the world, and therefore, the multi-layered way I construct it through the lense.

My work is heavily influenced by popular culture – movies, music and media imagery. My videos often parody themes, styles or shots from cinema, and as a result, my work could be described as the “thinking woman’s MTV”.
