In his artistic practice of reenactment, Ming Wong (*1971 in Singapore, lives in Berlin) examines strategies of cinema and popular culture, questioning how they are involved in the construction, reproduction, and distribution of identity. Genres such as melodrama, film noir, dance theater, and anime are dissected in performative videos and become a stage for queer politics and representation. In addition to Singaporean cinema of the 1950s, the artist primarily reenacts and interprets classic films by directors such as Pier Paolo Pasolini, Douglas Sirk, Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Ingmar Bergman, Yasujirō Ozu, and P. Ramlee. His reenactments intentionally work with exaggeration and miscasting (all roles are played by male actors, mostly by Wong himself), thereby exposing the often cruel social, racist or sexist stereotypes portrayed in these films.
