Having known Tsang Kin-Wah for almost a decade, I would liken him to a devoted monk who has deserted the confines of organized religion and believes in wandering as the best way to sharpen his consciousness. Well versed in Eastern and Western philosophies and postmodern discourse, Tsang nevertheless maintains a critical distance with such intellectual enterprises, and spends time sifting through different ideas before devising the concepts for his work. Once he has locked on an idea, he begins to create in his studio in the Hong Kong suburb of Fotan, meticulously composing his haunting videos and designing spectacular floral wall-based works, all without the help of assistants.
