Rikke Benborg
The work of Rikke Benborg connects physically staged and scenographic space with temporal aspects of experimental film. Through video, film and animation she creates minimal and dreamlike settings inhabited by alienated or uncomfortable female characters. In other works she explores notions of form in relation to the physical body in short films which blur the boundaries between body and object.
Rikke Benborg (born in 1973, Denmark) lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark. She has exhibited both in Denmark and abroad, including Sweden, England and the United States. She is currently showing work in the Hong Kong based film and video festival Videotage.

Ishu Han
Ishu Han questions ideas belonging, civic duty and how such notions influence our voices as individuals. In his video practice, Han uses his own body and migration history to explore the notion of ‘identity’. A recent major work considered Australia’s immigration history, focusing on Asian immigration following the discovery of gold in Victoria. His work considers the exploration of how people of different nationalities, races, ethnicities and cultures coexist and how independent identities have been retained.
Ishu Han (born 1987, Shanghai, China) currently lives and works in Tokyo, Japan. Han’s works have been featured in a number of solo exhibitions, most recently, Life Scan, Tokyo Frontline, Japan, 2014; Study Country, VCA Gallery, Australia, 2013; Form of Sea, Kyoto Art Center North Gallery, Japan 2012; as well as groups shows such as In the Wake, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston 2015; Whose Game is it?, RCA Gallery, UK, 2015; Asia Anarchy Alliance, Kuandu Museum of Fine Art, Taipei, 2014; Local Futures, He Xiang Ning Art Museum, China, 2013; 16th Japan Media Arts Festival, The National Art Center, Tokyo, Japan 2012; Local to Local, Openspace Bae, Busan, Korea, 2010.
