MINTIO &
Brighton Connection Student Care Centre

Artist

MINTIO is a lens-based visual artist. She had graduated from the NTU School of Art, Design and Media in 2009. With her practice, she is interested in condensing space and time through the processes of layering images. Mintio focuses on the use of optics and analog techniques in constructing her work. She sees her processes with analog techniques, especially with her use of film photography, to be performative and meditative. In this this age where our day to day life is bombarded with the influx of digital media and images, Mintio encourages viewers to encounter time, with means outside of the digital world, as an alternative experience to reality. Mintio has presented her works in solo exhibitions namely at the NUS Museum, Biblioteca de México “Jose Vasconcelos" and with THEO Arts Professionals. She has also participated in the Noorderlicht Photofestival, Asian Triennial Manchester & exhibitions with the Hangaram Art Museum, Singapore Art Museum and National Museum of Singapore. Her works has been published by Phaidon, WERK (in collaboration with Comme Des Garcons) & Laurence King Publishing. In 2012 Mintio had been commissioned to create the public art works for the Orchard Station along with Thomson Line in the LTA Arts in Transit Program.
