Sin Wai Kin: The Story Cycle

The Story Cycle was Channel's first commission. Filmed entirely in Somerset House, the building serves as a metaphor for the body where cycles of listening, embodying and telling construct our idea of human nature.

The Story Cycle follows two clowns as they search for their place in unfolding narratives set in strange infrastructures, told by an unreliable storyteller.

This film has now been archived but you can learn more about the artwork and Sin Wai Kin's practice in the editorial and recorded In Conversation below.

Commissioned by Somerset House with support from UK Government’s Culture Recovery Fund through Arts Council England.
