Sherman Ong
Tickets. 2010
Video, 10'17"
Situated somewhere between documentary and fiction, this video depicts a Chinese woman who goes to Singapore to become an actress, but ends up working in the box-office on an old cinema instead. In addition to the movie theater and its image repertoire, themes such as diaspora, cultural identity, and belonging emerge.
