Communiqué de presse de Ng Joon Kiat, Les mers sont toutes partagées
"Through the internet passport, I engage in mental and physical travels. I do what I know how to best, that is to paint. I explored the idea of painting on-site through internet sites and physical sites with the intention of shaping a painting practice in mental exile. This included visiting traveller-friendly spaces like hotels; popular internet sites that shape social influences; property developments; news sites; as well as devising on-site watercolour painting techniques to capture the fleeing moments in an information-overloaded Internet country. Essentially, I’m questioning how to shape a consciousness of an Internet identity in these painting. Might as well screw those stupid white frames along the way, goodbye zombie formalism." - Ng Joon Kiat
