Directed and Produced by Elsa Wong and Sonia Kwek
Singapore Art Week - *SCAPE MOV:MENT Lab 2024
Original score by Mervin Wong
Unfolding as a series of vignettes, hard boil, soft centre is a surrealist short film that reimagines four female archetypes, threaded together with the symbol of the egg. Inspired by mythological figures intermingled with personal dreams, each story features a character of each archetype and their associated landscapes, revealing a peek into these women’s hidden pains. hard boil, soft centre is our way of peeling apart these visual metaphors and letting what’s inside ooze out.
This film was made as part of MOV:MENT Lab and will be exhibited for Singapore Art Week between 13-28 Jan 2024 at *SCAPE.

Scoring for Chantel Foo: pond (2022)
Performed at Southbank Centre as part of Lucinda Chua’s Purcell Sessions in collaboration with ESEA Sisters and Reference Point Lates curated by Diasporas Now ‘pond’, is another excavation of a body in return and reclamation of Chantel’s training and roots in traditional Chinese dance. with sounds by SIngaporean artist Mervin Wong, and 古琴 (gu3 qín) samples by Chloe Foo. Chantel obscures their face in this work. “Gathering what I have undone from my body’s history, the steel I have beaten into my skin to shield my body from the whiteness of this gaze. This is my body’s first home. This is the dance that has saved me repeatedly over the years and one of the first violent love of my life. Unsurprisingly, there is more it offers to teach me.”
