Screening, performance and talk with Ming Wong

Artists frequently incorporate elements from classic movies, cinematic techniques, and pop culture into their work. These references are often explored, questioned, or subverted through reenactment. Video artist Ming Wong exemplifies this approach, focusing on the reenactment of cult films in his work.



His video installation Devo Partire. Domani / I must go. Tomorrow (2010, 19:55 min) is a queer adaptation of Pier Paolo Pasolini’s film Teorema (Theorem, 1968), amplifying its social critique through irony.

This event uses Wong’s work to explore the potential of artistic reenactment and provide a modern context for Pasolini’s social commentary. This engaging event begins with a screening and a performance.


Attendees are encouraged to watch Teorema at Babylon Kino on October 27 before participating.
