Sin Wai Kin brings fantasy to life through storytelling in moving image, performance, writing, and print. Drawing on experiences of binary categories, their work realizes alternate worlds to describe lived experiences of desire, identification and consciousness.
Sin was shortlisted for the Turner Prize 2022, the 2024 Jarman award, and the K21 Global Art Award 2025. They were the recipient of the 24th Baloise Art Prize at Art Basel 2023.
