A Dream of Wholeness in Parts 2021

2022 Turner Prize-nominee Sin Wai Kin combines visual imagery from traditional Chinese dramaturgy with references to contemporary drag, music and poetry, to create fantastical dreamscapes that deconstruct conventional representations of gender and present alternate states of being.

Referring to philosopher Chuang Tzu’s ‘Dream of the Butterfly’, the vibrant visual poem, A Dream of Wholeness in Parts, takes place in a cinematic world where three characters – each played by the artist – contemplate their being-in-the-world.

Pepperminta 2009

Directed by the renowned Swiss video and installation artist Pipilotti Rist, Pepperminta is a psychedelic voyage into the mind of a young woman who possesses the power to change people's lives through her vivid imagination and infatuating playfulness.

A highly confected visual feast of color and surreal imagery, the film explores themes of individuality, self-discovery, and freedom of expression. Filled with candy-coloured costumes and sets that move between stop motion animation and live-action, the free-spirited Pepperminta – and her unique outlook on life – inspires those around her, whilst also liberating her from more conventional societal expectations. Through her interactions with a diverse cast of characters, including her best friend Edna (Sabine Timoteo) and a young stranger named Theo (Sven Pippig), Pepperminta learns to embrace her imagination and true self, whilst also inspiring others to do the same.
