Wong Ping’s work Dear, can I give you a hand? (2018), driven by his dark and risqué sense of humor, addresses the tension between an aging population and the relentless pace of the digital economy. In this video he discusses the origins of the work, based on a chance observation of an elderly man in Hong Kong, and describes it as a “diary of my 80-year-old self.”- Text from Guggenheim

This video was produced on the occasion of the exhibition One Hand Clapping presented at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, and made possible by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation.

About Wong Ping:
Flashing, pop-like imagery; visual and auditory narrations that explicitly touch upon sex, politics and social relations; vibrant installations that extend into three dimensions of the artist’s fantastical animation world – these are but cornerstones of Wong Ping’s (b. 1984) practice. Discussing his observations of society, from teenage to adulthood, his work combines the crass and the colourful to mount a discourse around repressed sexuality, personal sentiments and political limitations.
