Time 18:00

Price £5

Combining the crude, the grotesque and the political, artist-animator Wong explores the pressing concerns of our age: existential angst, sexual impotence and societal limitations.

Straddling the chasm between low and high culture, Wong’s visually saturated, surrealist observations on contemporary life create a dystopian Kafkaesque world, depicting both mundane cruelties and a sense of comfort that our perversions and fantasies are shared by others.

After the screening, Ping will join programmer and writer Herb Shellenberger in Q&A. Programmed by Tom Grimshaw 57’.
