0Victoria Sin (b. 1991) currently lives and works in London, UK.
Renowned drag queen Victoria Sin combined their drag with multimedia art forms since 2013. Alternative narration is the aesthetic prominence of their video works.
Act 1 Part 3 of A View from Elsewhere, body of work performed as multimedia fantasy on the experience of desire, shame and identification of the material queer body, featuring sound design by Shy One. In 'Illocutionary Utterances' a high definition close up of Victoria Sin's lipsync in drag makeup is played over a sound piece exploring the role thats speech acts play in the ascription of gender. Speech acts which ascribe gender outside of a subject's control are compared to speech acts of self identification, while overpainted lips mime exagerated attempts to sync with an altogether different soundtrack.
