Wong Winsome Dumalagan’s practice revolves around videography, images, and installations, often rooted in the cultural contexts she traverses. She delves into understanding places, roots, and mobility, exploring how everyday narratives of people, nature, and objects construct knowledge, through both planned and serendipitous encounters. With videos and images she captured or collected from those she encountered, she sculpts and layers visuals, and often incorporates discarded household items, inexpensive and sometimes flawed materials, to create temporary spaces that are continuously reconfigurable, probing the boundaries of representation in both imagery and material. She is a member of the Floating Projects Collective.
黃慧心的實踐以錄像、影像和裝置為主，並且經常源自她所經歷的文化脈絡。透過有計劃或偶然的旅程和相遇，她試圖理解地方、根源和流動性，探索人、自然與物件的日常敘事如何構建知識。她以自己拍攝或從遇到的人所收集得來的錄像和圖像作為原材料，雕刻和層疊影像，並經常同時以廢棄的家居用品、廉價或有瑕疵的材料，建構出可以不斷重組的臨時空間，思考影像與物質在再現上的界限。她是藝術群體據點句點成員。
