The Worlds of Richard Fung
Richard Fung is a video artist, writer, theorist and educator born in Trinidad and based in Toronto, Canada. His work comprises challenging videos on subjects ranging from the role of the Asian male in gay pornography to colonialism, immigration, racism, homophobia, AIDS, justice in Israel/Palestine, and his own family history. On view at Gallery 360, his single-channel and installation works, including Re:Orientations (2016), My Mother’s Place (1990), Rex vs. Singh (2009), Dirty Laundry (1996) and Islands (2002) have been widely screened and collected internationally, and have been broadcast in Canada, the United States and Trinidad and Tobago. Using a 20-year archive of video interviews, his latest film The Enigma of Harold Sonny Ladoo (2024) explores the mysterious death of Harold Sonny Ladoo, the first Trinidadian and the second Caribbean novelist published in Canada.
