Suki Chan was born in Hong Kong and currently lives and works in London. Her practice combines light, moving image, electronics and sound within mixed-media installations to explore physical and psychological experiences of space through simple, repetitive and sometimes painstaking processes, abstracting familiar materials and objects, to create imaginary and uncanny narratives.

Film and Video Umbrella worked with Suki Chan to commission her most recent major film work ‘Sleep Walk, Sleep Talk’ as part of Free to Air. ‘Sleep Walk, Sleep Talk’ draws on Chan’s interest in how urban spaces are planned and her experiences of Hong Kong and Shanghai and the Westernization of the towns and villages on their periphery.

Chan graduated with a BA (Hons) from Goldsmiths College, London, in 1999 and in completed an MA in Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art, London, 2008. Chan has participated in solo and group shows, artist residencies and research projects in the UK and internationally including: El Tanque, Spain; Comme Ca Art, New York, USA; PKW, Singapore and Upriver Loft Arts Space, China.
