Kent Chan: Solar Orders (performance)

In this performance, Kent Chan collaborates with sound artist Zai Tang to fuse storytelling, moving image, and music in an audiovisual act that spins global imaginaries and future scenarios around the Sun. The work revolves around ‘Solar Orders’, speculative societies of a future global tropics defined by a vital relationship to the Sun as a cosmic organising principle and primary energy source. Conjuring entropic dynamics, new social bonds, and ancient divine lore, the work arises from Chan’s ongoing research on the tropics and climate change, channelling his vision of expanded tropical futures.
