Project lead & principal researcher for ‘Rubber Dreams of its Lifetime’, a research-based art project exploring the rubber industry in Southeast Asia as a microcosm of the global economy of desire, funded by the Kone Foundation. Together with director Bart Seng Wen Long & local collaborators in SEA, we have produced a variety of laticiferous outputs: texts, moving image & photography, participatory workshops, autoethnographic plays & performance lectures. So far, selections from this body of work have been exhibited at art & film festivals including Ghost2568 (Bangkok), Kunstenfestivaldesarts (Brussels), Queer East (London) & Singapore International Film Festival.

In parallel with exhibiting short-form & site-specific works from the Rubber Dreams universe, we are developing larger-scale works intended as its culmination. Bart is post-producing ‘Heveaphilia’, a feature-length documentary-fantasy film, while I am editing a similarly hybrid book manuscript.
