Choreographer-dancer Angela Goh moves through gallery spaces with little-to-no staging, creating performances that are compelling and deeply uncanny. Her repertoire of movements is drawn from everyday life, books, films, mythology and historical events. These gestures are collected, studied, refined and reinterpreted through a process the artist evocatively describes as cutting, looping and smuggling.

Movements are often distilled by Goh to their most specific components; slowed down to the point that they appear strange; reversed so that they can be seen anew; and repeated and repeated so that the viewer is lured into studying them a little deeper. Goh’s works capture the reordering of time that has come to typify social-media video editing — yet achieve this without the digital barrier; memory and time remain the subject and materials of her practice.
