Wang has been working on an on-going project on Hong Kong. The project that began in 2012 is an examination of Hong Kong’s cultural anxiety and crisis through a set of cinematic explorations of the city’s space. In Singapore while in the residency, he will study the role of sand in Singapore, by not only tracing its physical circulation as a fundamental element for the state’s development but also its symbolic role in the cultural sphere.
