Louise Wan (b. 2003, Hong Kong) recently received her Master of Arts in Sculpture from Royal College of Art following a Bachelor of Fine Art from Central Saint Martins. Wan's kinetic sculptures explore the intersections of labour and automation within capitalism and post-capitalist structures. Her presented work features a kinetic sculpture that endlessly repeats the absurd gesture of licking a melting ice cream. This repetitive action highlights the invisibility and necessity of labour, particularly in the age of increasing automation. Wan's work examines the intertwined nature of bodies and machines, blurring the lines between agency, gesture, and exhaustion. By staging these absurd systems, she compels viewers to question whether automation truly liberates or simply redistributes the burdens of labour, prompting reflection on how value, care, and exhaustion are encoded into the objects and systems that surround us.
