charmaine poh 傅秀璇
is an artist working across film, photography, media and performance to peel apart, re-examine, and hold ideas of agency, repair, and the body across worlds. She aligns herself with strategies of visibility, opacity, deviance, and futurity.Her practice initially focused on using experimental documentary photography to explore how femininity and queerness are articulated. In 2021 she embarked on THE YOUNG BODY UNIVERSE, a series of techno-feminist enactments drawing from her experience as a child actor in the 2000s.
Based between Berlin and Singapore, she is a co-founder of the magazine Jom and a member of the Asian Feminist Studio for Art and Research (AFSAR). She is a participating artist in the 60th Venice Biennale - Foreigners Everywhere.
