The Time of Our Lives (12*) & ScreenTalk with Sin Wai Kin and Lotte Johnson

Sin Wai Kin brings fantasy to life through storytelling in moving image, performance, writing, and print. Drawing on experiences of existing between binary categories, their work realizes alternate worlds to describe lived experiences of desire, identification and consciousness.

The artist was the recipient of the 24th Baloise Art Prize at Art Basel 2023. Their film, A Dream of Wholeness in Parts (2021) was nominated for the 2022 Turner Prize, and included in the touring exhibition the British Art Show 9, as well as being screened at the British Film Institute’s 65th London Film Festival. Upcoming solo exhibitions include Soft Opening at Paul Soto, Los Angeles; Accelerator, Stockholm; Canal Projects, New York. Sin’s work is held in public collections including the collections of The British Museum Prints & Drawings. Recent solo exhibitions include MUDAM, Luxembourg; Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb and Taipei Contemporary Art Centre, Taipei.
