Communication Design School of Design
Michelle Tsang Yeuk Suet
My work is driven by my interest among fashion, queer and cultural identity. While drawing inspirations from experimental theatre, alternative comics, cryptids and mythology. I enjoy blurring the boundaries between illustration and installation, my sculptures often features an interactive aspect for viewers to participate and experience. The usage of obscure symbolisms allows me to communicate subtle emotions reminiscent of inner childhood.
Queer Cyberspace: Fresh Kill, 2024
Glazed Stoneware, Hologram
30 x 30cm
This piece derives from one of my personal paintings on Queer Cyberspace, reinterpreting Shu Lea Cheang’s experimental film Fresh Kill 1994—lesbian parents who are entangled in a corporate conspiracy, through the lens of ethnic minority culture, framed within the context of queer space.
“There, a Black queer femme body is flattened, essentialized as singular in dimension, given little room to occupy and even less territory to explore. As flat shadowy figures standing at the margins, we are stripped of the right to feel, to transform, to express a range of self.”—Legacy Russell
