Magdalen Wong

Magdalen Wong (Chinese: 黃頌恩; pinyin: Huang Songen; born 1981) is a Hong Kong / New York based artist.

Wong takes inspiration for her work from elements in her everyday life, these include Japanese animation, toy stores, bakeries, wet markets and Sham Shui Po.

[2] Wong is interested in altering mundane objects—through various mediums such as photography, video and sculpture—to provoke viewers to seek different narratives and the unique beauty within these everyday artifacts.

The looped video works are displayed on TV sets installed with propped up the screens facing the ground.

[6] Viewers could hear the sounds from the TVs, but as the screens faced the ground, they could only see modulating colors reflected on the floor as the videos looped.
