About Gayle Chong Kwan
Gayle Chong Kwan is a multidisciplinary artist whose photographic works, immersive installations and shared sensory events are exhibited internationally, both in galleries and in the public realm. At the core of her practice is an expanded and embodied notion of photographic practice through which she explores simulacra, the sublime and the politics of travel, trade, and waste. She uses techniques of collage, construction, and the creation of mise-en-scene landscapes, sensory experiences, and sculptural pieces to be worn on the body, often made out of detritus, remains, and documentary sources. Chong Kwan is currently artist in residence in Photography at the V&A, and is undertaking a PhD in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art.
