Performance
Isaac Chong Wai, Falling Reversely
11 January 2025 at 4 pm
Kunsthalle Barmen
Conceptual artist Isaac Chong Wai (born 1990 in Hong Kong) works across different media, including performance, video, installation, photography and drawing. In his works, he examines contemporary global phenomena and transforms emotions, tensions and memories of human interactions into performative materiality and immersive experiences. At the boundary between the individual and the collective, he examines the vulnerability of the body and the inherent violence in social systems and historical traumas and imagines alternative microcosms of human relationships.
The performance Falling Reversey is currently being shown at the Venice Biennale. It is based on racist attacks in public spaces that many people of Asian descent, including the artist himself, have experienced. Falling Reversely is an attempt to reverse the movements of falling – a touching, solidary and empowering gesture.
The performance will be performed on 11 January at 4 pm in the Kunsthalle Barmen for the finissage of the exhibition Shared Spaces . Admission is free.

The inaugural exhibition “Shared Spaces” unites museum space and urban space. The artistic works open up spaces for shared experience and empowerment, creating irritation and encouraging reflection. The exhibition moves between social cohesion and the impression to be thrown back on oneself, between the creation of an identity, speechlessness and the questioning of social norms and rituals. It invites the visitors to discover the strengths of communities and to meet other people in a new way. The invited artists include: Sonja Alhäuser, Francis Alÿs, Baltic Raw Org, Monica Bonvicini, Paul Budniewski, common ground, comp_zero, Antje Engelmann, Heiner Franzen, Ivana Franke, Alfredo Jaar, kinesic, Katerina Matsagkos, Rita McBride, Laure Prouvost, Michael Sailstorfer, Isaac Chong Wai and Raul Walch.
