Featured Works

Flicked

Tong Wenmin, Performance Art, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China, Single channel video (color, sound), 2’50”, 2023.

Tong Wenmin

The artist then completed a series of outdoors performance artworks in Xishuangbanna, one of which is the performance video Flicked which we exhibit here for audiences so that viewers may gain a glimpse of the long evolution of the artist's From South to North project. If one looks closely, one can see how the skin of the artist's body is tattooed from the process described above of placing plant specimens on her body, so that the sun would tan their images onto her skin.
