Ang is a documentary filmmaker and photographer born in China and based in London. Ang got his first camera in 2015 when he entered university. Even though he was studying Computer Science, his passion for visual storytelling made him decide to change his major to Communication Study. After Covid, Ang came to London and gained his Master degree of Fine Art in Creative Documentary by Practice.
Since then, Ang’s film and photography projects have been recognised and exhibited in international galleries and BAFTA-qualifying documentary film festivals like Sheffield DocFest and Visions du Réel.
Ang’s work, no matter how it appears or what its medium is, is always about questioning the relationships between human beings’ consciousness, behaviours and interactions of their surroundings. He constantly challenges authority, normality, and the “quiet desperation” by finding inspiration from the surreal details in life. Through his subtle yet powerful work, Ang wants to invite everyone on the reflective and emotional journey to find and celebrate their ignored inherent sparkles.
Ang believes that every art work is a reflection of the artist themselves. He thinks that it is not the lens or camera that composes the world or the art, but the artist’s eye.
