“A devout atheist. An optimistic pessimist. A slow living fast food waiter. A weekend vegetarian. Your silence neighbor [sic].” Hong Kong artist Wong Ping’s Instagram bio is in line with the style of his work: fun, twisted and contradictory—qualities that shine through in his short animated films, installations, Instagram stories, and my conversation with the artist.
