when a lake dissolves into a grassfield: Sharing by Wong Winsome Dumalagan

Date
Jun 1, 2025
Time
5:30 pm – 6:30 pm

Venue

10B, Wing Wah Industrial Building
Quarry Bay, Hong Kong

Join artist Wong Winsome Dumalagan for a sharing on her 2024 residency with Fogo Island Arts, organised in partnership with MOCA Toronto and Para Site. In this session, the artist will introduce a new photobook that brings together photographs taken during her time on Fogo Island and others captured near her home in Hong Kong. Through acts of composing, juxtaposing, and layering fragments of nature, waypoints, or homes, she reflects on feelings of time passing and what it means to belong—questions that came into focus during the quiet rhythms of the residency.

Moderated by Jessie Kwok, the sharing will be in English. Free entry, no RSVP required.

About

Wong Winsome Dumalagan’s practice revolves around videography, images, and installations, often rooted in the cultural contexts she traverses. She delves into understanding places, roots, and mobility, exploring how everyday narratives of people, nature, and objects construct knowledge, through both planned and serendipitous encounters. With videos and images she captured or collected from those she encountered, she sculpts and layers visuals, and often incorporates discarded household items, inexpensive and sometimes flawed materials, to create temporary spaces that are continuously reconfigurable, probing the boundaries of representation in both imagery and material. She is a member of the Floating Projects Collective.
