Curatorial outline

The group exhibition presents the lens-based artwork of Susie Wong, Green Zeng and Zulkhairi Zulkiflee. It contemplates the postcolonial term ‘worlding’ coined by theorist Gayatri Spivak to describe how the colonial gaze shapes representation. In particular, this entails a process where knowledge and reality are entangled within colonial structures. Here, the title ‘worldly dis-position’ alludes to a sense of ‘deferral’ that is enacted through the prefix ‘dis’ or understood as ‘apart’.
