Ting-Kin Chan (陈定乾) is an independent artist, filmmaker, and organizer of non-profit art initiatives.

Working through site-based practice, textual writing, and spectral media, he regards the post-industrial landscapes left behind by Southern China's modernisation as a field of experimentation. Through mise en scène — citing the audiovisual grammar of art cinema while holding its narrative function in fracture and suspension — he compels the bodies traversing this damaged ground to undertake, again and again, their own rehearsal (dwelling, weight, breath, posture, displacement) so as to choreograph a bodily tactic of perpetual dislocation; and through the moving image, he dislodges the historical spectres sedimented within the folds of this terrain, so that they can no longer be concealed and abruptly develop into the visible.

Since 2014, he has been actively engaged as an artist in self-organised exhibitions and independent art initiatives across China. His video, installation, and new media works have been exhibited at institutions and venues including the Guangdong Museum of Art (Guangzhou), Times Museum (Guangzhou), OCAT Institute (Beijing), Jiangsu Centre for the Performing Arts (Nanjing), Luohu Art Museum (Shenzhen), and the Art Museum of Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts (Guangzhou), among others.

His first experimental short, Humans, Weightless (2025), had its world premiere at the 6th FLIGHT – Mostra Internazionale del Cinema di Genova (Genoa, Italy) and won the Best Experimental Film Award at the 12th Fine Arts Film Festival (Venice, USA).

His second experimental short, Ghost Noon (2026), had its world premiere at the 16th 'AVIFF' Festival du Film d'Artiste (Marseille, France) in May 2026.

Ting-Kin holds a BA in Experimental Art and an MA in Modern Art and Theory Studies from the School of Fine Arts at South China Normal University. He is also the co-founder and Artistic Director of Rice-Free Cooking Art Centre (煲冇米粥艺术中心) and LIMINALcinema: Film and Moving Image Festival.
