Southwark Park Galleries
Client: Forma / Southwark Park Galleries


Sin Wai Kin (they/them) (b. 1991, Toronto, CA) brings fantasy to life through storytelling in moving image, performance, writing, and print. Drawing on experiences of existing between binary categories, their work realizes alternate worlds to describe lived experiences of desire, identification and consciousness.
Southwark Park Galleries is an interdisciplinary arts organisation set across two distinctive venues – including a Grade II Listed deconsecrated church – and a garden in the heart of Southwark Park, London. Through their locally relevant and internationally significant programme of exhibitions, performances and public engagement, their mission is to connect people using the intersection of art, nature and culture to facilitate meaning and wellbeing across communities.
Forma is a contemporary arts organisation based in Southwark, London. Driven by artists and their ideas, they develop collaborative interdisciplinary projects that challenge existing practices, span multiple artistic disciplines and demand new levels of ambition.
Working on this project, I had a tight shooting shcedule, as the photos I took I did during the private view of the exhibition. It was a fun challenge to quickly, and discreetly set up my tripod, take a photo, and move on in the darkness of the gallery space. Which by the way is a massive old church building. It’s atmosphere is borderline sublime, as, albeit you can obviously see the building as you aproach from the park, yet, when you enter through the relatively small doorway, and step out into the vastness of the deconsecrated church, you can’t help but pause for a moment. I worked actively with the Forma communications team to spot good angles, and nice moments the audience had with the work.
