Ho Sin Tung sees research as a grounded way to get lost, to imagine and engage with the world. Wandering between texts and materials, things sharp and entangled become her work. That's a way for her to live with it. Her pen pal described her as follows: “Ho Sin Tung attaches importance to things, just as people attach importance to living people; dead things, events and knowledge have the status of the living from her perspective. They have their own features and dignity thus, they cannot be categorised.”
Apart from drawing, installation and video, Ho also regards writing as one of her essential practices. Her translations, reviews and fictions are published in various medias and literary magazines. She is one of the co-founders of alternative space POWWOW - it is a base for cultural practitioners from all fields to exercise, play, mingle, and learn to care for both their body and mind. It seeks to bring various artistic communities together through sports (especially martial arts) and fun, and to become a gathering point for creative spirits to collide in informal yet structured frameworks. Without emphasising on the production or exhibition aspects of art, it will be a playground for creativity to ferment and take shape without being driven by ‘objectives’ or directed by the capitalistic impulses of productivity and efficiency.
Ho Sin Tung graduated from the Fine Arts Department in Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2018.
