We are pleased to welcome you to the opening of Sin Wai Kin’s solo exhibition, Man’s World, on Thursday 23 January at 7 pm. After the opening, there will be a cozy gathering/good times at TYVEN!
Have you ever felt like you were living in someone else's dream? In Sin Wai Kin's first Norwegian solo presentation, Man’s World, audiences are challenged to consider how reality is shaped by storytelling—not only in what stories are told, but also by who tells them and how. Through three interconnected film installations, the exhibition reveals narrative-making as a constructive world-building force that is never neutral.
Through Man’s World, Sin Wai Kin probes urgent questions: Is reality merely a staged 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? Viewers are invited to look beyond the curtain, beneath layers of makeup, skin, muscle, and costume—to question what lies at the heart of how we perform ourselves.
