TONG Wenmin童文敏
biography /
Tong Wenmin’s work often focuses on the intersection between individual perception and the external environment, stimulating visual poetry and inspiring action through behaviors that at first seem counter-intuitive. Through often simplified or regulated movements, her work hints at the allegorical character of the body and action within a semantically rich context.

童文敏的創作常常聚焦於外部環境與個體感知的交叉地帶,通過看似背反邏輯的行為,激發微妙且具啟發性的行動及其視覺詩意。通過時常簡化的或具規律性的動作,在語義豐富的情境中提示身體與行動的寓言性品格。
