    OK! Immigrant, Ziyi Wang, 2023, video installation, dimensions variable

    Ziyi Wang applies humour as method to tickle the existing systems, borders, and bureaucracy. Her works are mostly video installations, involving elements of documentary, comedy and ready-made props. This ongoing work OK! Immigrant is a video installation series, about a farce around losing and replacing the UK resident permit, which involves missing a flight, debating with aircrew and the ambassador's office, and how she self-directed a fake "smuggling" to come back to my temporary "home", recomposing an Asian female contemporary version of the Odyssey.
