Isaac Chong Wai is participating in We Connect, We Occupy, a group exhibition at Jeonnam Museum of Art curated by Seryeong Kim. Chong Wai presents Falling Reversely (2021/2024), a seven-channel video installation previously shown at the 60th Venice Biennale curated by Adriano Pedrosa. Through choreographed reversed falls, the work explores themes of vulnerability, solidarity, and collective resistance.

The exhibition investigates how solidarity can be formed and expressed through shared goals and creative practices. It reimagines urban squares and public spaces not just as physical locations, but as sites where new communities and stories are built. The participating artists revive erased voices, bring back forgotten narratives, and construct new expressions that break through silence. The exhibition will run between  June 10 and September 3, 2025. 

Concurrently, the video installation is being shown in Australia as part of the group exhibition Tender Comrade at White Rabbit Gallery, until November 16, 2025.

Tender Comrade examines forgotten and suppressed queer histories in China, highlighting forms of solidarity, networks, and alliances that endure beyond normative definitions of identity. The exhibition invites viewers to reflect on friendship, tenderness, and collective will as powerful forces for imagining alternative futures.
