Kien Situ is a multidisciplinary Asian-Australian artist based in Sydney. His practice spans architecture, sculpture, film and installation. With a thematic focus on ruin, distance and time; it exists to challenge, deconstruct and meditate on notions of space, heritage and identity as the ‘other’ in society.
