Portraits become a portal into a fantasy narrative for Sin Wai Kin, who has created a series of imagined figures for their exhibition at London’s Soft Opening gallery.
Sin’s moving image character portraits become the embodiment of different concepts. They each represent and reinterpret a traditional storytelling strand in Cantonese and Peking Opera, from ‘Change’, representing the inevitable permeance of change, and warrior god ‘The Universe’, to the personification of the binary of good and evil, ‘The Construct’, ‘The Storyteller’ and ‘Wai King’, symbolising rampant masculinity.
