Wu Tsang: Invisible Boundaries
By Ming Lin
Wu Tsang's name—both gender ambiguous and nondescript—suits this androgynous, protean artist, who is comfortable assuming the roles of both provocateur and provocatress. Through filmmaking and performance, Tsang probes those static definitions of personhood that he himself eludes, addressing the social and geographic fragmentations that occur in a globalized society. The latter themes reflect his own relatively nomadic lifestyle and, fittingly, Tsang enters our dialogue remotely, checking in via Skype from Stockholm, where he has just completed a residency with international exchange program Iaspis.
