Spanning television, film, installation, and collaborative performance Winnie Cheung is a Hong Kong and New York based interdisciplinary artist merging fantastical cinema, commercial aesthetics, and myth-making into sensorial narratives dosed with colonial nostalgia, cultural artifacts, and the folkloric occult. Her work often features shapeshifting protagonists, porous realities, and tension between control and surrender.
