Notes
Sarah Choo Jing’s practice purposefully activates image-making and photography that teases the boundaries between historical truth and speculative fiction. Often juxtaposing and interspersing staged, found, and borrowed media to uncanny sensibilities, she brings novel perspectives on society and history through her earnest observation of human behaviour and relationships. This project explores fantasy and reality through a contemporary interpretation of what entertainment worlds previously offered as alternatives, escapes, and wonderlands. The work materialises at the intersection of technology and analogue mediums through an immersive architectural sound and video installation that takes an innovative format comprising a video sculpture and digital prints.
