Ming Wong is a traveler between the worlds in many senses: Based in Berlin as well as Singapore he became known for his re-interpretations of iconic cinema moments with which he humorously demonstrated gender and identity stereotypes; such as with »Lerne Deutsch mit Petra von Kant« (2007) or »In Love for the Mood« and »Life of Imitation« which were both commissions for the 53rd Venice Biennial in 2009. His method of performative appropriation can be described as »transtemporal drag« and connects critique of postcolonial patterns with elements of comedy. At Kampnagel he presents a work-in-progress site where Chinese sci-fi plots can be imagined. »Tales from the Bamboo Spaceship« is part of his new on-going research on the unconscious, improbable relationships between the histories of traditional Chinese opera, cinema and science fiction. Through his work the artist is exploring how one of the oldest performing art forms in the world can be used to address notions of the »future«.
