About Hong Shu-ying

Hong Shu-ying 方舒颖 (b.1997, Singapore) is an artist who collects and works with found images and materials. She recontextualises familiar sights and sounds to highlight patterns, repetitions, and contradictions related to inheritance and ways of learning.

Her recent projects delve into informal archives, which act like personal and communal time capsules that encapsulate the banalities and peculiarities of life. These include handwritten elements found in scores and annotations, alongside amateur videos and images. This fascination is informed by her experiences growing up in amateur Chinese orchestras and the internet.

Shu holds a BFA (Hons) in Media Art (Photography) from Nanyang Technological University, School of Art, Design, and Media. She was awarded the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography and featured in the 6th Women in Film and Photography Showcase by Objectifs (Singapore). Recently, she had her first solo presentation at Esplanade (Singapore) as part of the Singapore Art Week 2024. She has participated in exhibitions, showcases, and festivals internationally, including in Austria, Cambodia, China, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Malaysia, the Netherlands, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.
