Are You Sleeping

The video is about air pollution, a topic that is local as well as global. It starts with personal experience: my hometown Beijing has severely polluted air. My family upgrade their masks every year. The masks grow larger and scarier as if in a sci-fi horror film.

SHORT BIOGRAPHY OF THE ARTIST

Hong is a Chinese video artist and filmmaker based in London. Having worked with the conventional formats in film and TV for years, she finds herself attracted to alternative ways of screen-based storytelling. She creates  socially concerned video art from a cross-cultural perspective drawing from her own experience living and working in China and the UK. For instance, her video installation Seating Code transforms a gallery into a film set, and uses humour to examine a superstitious rule imposed on female workers in the Chinese film industry.
Hong currently works at the award-winning film VFX company, Framestore, in London.
