ARTISTS / Ho Sin Tung
Ho imagines and participates in the world through researching it. She regards research as a method to lost oneself steadily. Navigating through the texts and matrials, Ho encounters punctum that haunts her. Those could not be named thus transformed into works. This is a way to live with it.
Ho has a penfriend who describes her as this: "Ho Sin Tung regards the dead as the living. Objects, events, knowledge gain the status of the living in her world. They have their own face and so dignied that they cannot be categorized."
Ho was born in Hong Kong, and currently living and working there.
