Their Temporary Night Views and On-screen Homelands primarily features images and footage shared by four Filipino migrant workers, all of whom are friends of Wong’s mother, herself a Filipina. These workers are based in Mid-levels, a district known for housing wealthier residents, offering clear views of the city’s skyline and fireworks. Despite spending much of their time in these affluent households, the night views they witness are fleeting, tied to the duration of their employment. During the pandemic, social media and video calls became their main means of visiting their homelands, with phones serving as their sole connection to family. Their stories about home and family also highlight the broader mobility of Filipinos working as migrants across different countries.

Wong Winsome Dumalagan’s practice revolves around videography, images, and installations, often rooted in the cultural contexts she traverses. She delves into understanding places, roots, and mobility, exploring how everyday narratives of people, nature, and objects construct knowledge, through both planned and serendipitous encounters. With videos and images she captured or collected from those she encountered, she sculpts and layers visuals, and often incorporates discarded household items, inexpensive and sometimes flawed materials, to create temporary spaces that are continuously reconfigurable, probing the boundaries of representation in both imagery and material. She is a member of the Floating Projects Collective.
