Sin Wai Kin
Sin Wai Kin was born in 1991 in Toronto, Canada, and lives and works in London, United Kingdom. The artist received their BA from Camberwell College of Arts in 2014 and their MA from the Royal College of Art, London in 2017. Drawing on diverse performance styles, such as drag, boy bands, newscasting, and sitcoms, Sin plays with genre conventions, narrative structures, and character tropes to reveal the cultural constructions at the heart of everyday experience. In an ongoing series of interconnected works, the artist has developed a cast of archetypal characters, each reflecting distinct relationships to fundamental concepts such as truth, identity, and change. Sin develops fictional worlds that explore the stories we tell about ourselves and our society, presenting more fluid possibilities for both.
