Good Morning Young Body

Presented at the 17th edition of Lo schermo dell’arte, 2024
Film part of VISIO – European Programme on Artists’ Moving Images 13th edizione, 2024
The video uses as its basis found footage and material of the artist’s time as a preteen TV actor in the early 2000s in Singapore, a time of an unregulated internet and nascent image distribution. Through the use of a deep-fake, the video resurrects the series character, E-Ching, to address the politics of the gaze, the femme-presenting body, and agency. By compressing time and space, the eternal 12-year-old E-Ching offers a revisionist narrative that holds a yearning for freedom.
Charmaine Poh (Singapore, 1990 )Lives and works between Berlin and Singapore.
