ARTIST BIOGRAPHY
藝術家簡介
With her practice spanning video art, photography and installation, Ng Wing Yan Winky investigates the intangible connections that are weaved through human relationships. She is particularly attuned to the subtle emotional shifts and bonds that often go unnoticed in daily life. Guided by this emotional awareness, her work explores states of detachment and the lingering presence of memory, examining how these unseen forces shape our perception and experience.
This sensibility is translated into spatial environments through a quiet, poetic language. She constructs contemplative installations that combine moving image and found objects, which often incorporate translucent materials such as glass to explore themes of visibility and ephemerality. Within these spaces, the elusive emotional threads between people, objects, and place are gently rendered palpable, inviting a shared moment of reflection.
吳泳恩（Ng Wing Yan Winky）的創作橫跨錄像、攝影與裝置藝術，聚焦人際間那些無形的連結與日常被忽略的細微情感。她特別關注疏離狀態與記憶的殘留，探討這些隱形的力量如何形塑我們的感知與體驗。
作品以安靜而詩意的語言構築沉思空間，結合動態影像、拾得物件與玻璃等半透明材質，探討可見性與稍縱即逝的主題。在這些環境中，人、物、場所之間難以捉摸的情感線索被輕柔呈現，邀請觀者共同進入靜默的反思時刻。

A fishbone caught in my throat when I was little at the family table.
I swallowed hard, but it didn’t hurt.
Since then, every unsaid word has grown in its shape, murmuring just before speaking, folding the emotions between the people we love the most.
小時候，家庭飯桌上，
一根魚骨卡進了我的喉嚨，
用力吞過，但不痛，
從此所有說不出的話都長成它的形狀，
低吟着每一句停在嘴邊的呢喃，
折疊着親近之人之間的情感。

The artist has come to understand the discomfort of existing in a space that does not feel like home. This work reflects three years spent in her boyfriend’s house—an environment where the artist struggled to belong. By capturing the unsettling experience of nighttime routines, especially the vulnerability of going to the bathroom, she aims to convey feelings of unease and rejection, exploring the complexities of identity and belonging.

What is the “thingness” of an object?
Their identities are perpetually rewritten by time and environment.
When humanity codes apples as fruit, logos, or scientific data, we make ourselves deaf to their rotting whispers. Through old TVs and a live apple, the work poses the question: what is the essence of an object? Buddhism’s concept of impermanence reframes this question: if definitions are fictions, does the silence of matter speak truth? This installation is a courtroom where viewers stand trial as judge, perpetrator, and accomplice.

The project “Fathers” represents NG’s inaugural fine art photography endeavor, realized between 2023 and 2024. Initially conceived as a photobook, this work encompasses a diverse array of photographic techniques, including digital photography, instant photography, and staged photography. Through this project, NG explores her relationship with her two fathers-her biological father and her stepfather-each in distinct contexts.
