Join Director Adam Kleinman for an exhibition tour exploring how storytelling shapes our reality, using Sin Wai Kin's artwork to examine how binaries like fantasy and reality blend together. His tour provides context to the artist's expanded cinematic universe, showing how repeated performances across media—from ads to sitcoms—create interconnected relationships that transform our understanding of nature and consciousness.
The artist Sin Wai Kin brings fantasy to life through storytelling in moving image, performance, writing, and print. Drawing on experiences of binary categories, their work realizes alternate worlds to describe lived experiences of desire, identification and consciousness. Through Man's World, Sin Wai Kin probes urgent questions: What is the relationship between reality and performance? Who gets to set the stage, and to what end? Are our desires, hopes, and fantasies our own, or are they inherited scripts about who we should become?
