Isaac Chong Wai, Being Alone: Artistic Perspectives from Central and East Asia and Beyond sergisinde (12/06/2026)
Isaac Chong Wai participated in Being Alone: Artistic Perspectives from Central and East Asia and Beyond, a group exhibition presented at HAU Hebbel am Ufer in Berlin from May 29 and 31, 2026. The exhibition was curated by Petra Poelzl (HAU) with dramaturgy by Dandan Liu.
Accompanying the wider Being Alone programme, the exhibition brought together artistic perspectives that approached loneliness not only as an individual condition but also as a complex social, digital, and political phenomenon. Situated between personal experience and global interconnectedness, the exhibition considered solitude as both a rupture and a space of possibility.
Within this context, Isaac Chong Wai’s contribution examined the representation of emotions, revealing the tension between authentic expression and the social staging of grief. His work formed part of a broader reflection on loneliness, empathy, and contemporary forms of social connection.
