Choy Ka Fai

Portrait of a person against a light, neutral background. The person looks directly into the camera and wears a black shirt with an open collar. Their dark, smooth hair is brushed back. A narrow moustache and a short beard on the chin frame the face. The expression appears calm and serious.

Choy Ka Fai is a Berlin-based Singaporean artist. His multidisciplinary art practice is at the intersection of dance, media art, and performance. At the heart of his research is a continuous exploration of the metaphysics of the human body. Through research expeditions, pseudo-scientific experiments, and documentary performances, Ka Fai appropriates technologies and narratives to imagine new futures of the human body. Ka Fai’s projects have been presented in major institutions and festivals worldwide, including Sadler’s Wells (London, UK), ImPulsTanz (Vienna, Austria), Tanzplattform, and Tanz im August (Berlin, Germany). He was a resident artist at tanzhaus nrw in Düsseldorf (2017–2019) and Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin (2014–2015). Ka Fai graduated from the Royal College of Art, London, with an M.A. in design interaction.
