Sin Wai Kin, “The End Time!,” 2025 at Canal Projects

Sin Wai Kin’s The End Time! marks the U.S. debut of their newly commissioned science fiction sitcom, The Time of Our Lives (2024). Blending speculative fiction with daytime TV, the film explores theories of space-time, quantum entanglement, and subjective reality. The exhibition also includes the project Essence (2024), in which the character Wai King becomes a brand ambassador for a men’s cologne featured in The Time of Our Lives. Presented together for the first time, The Time of Our Lives and Essence act as connected explorations of Sin’s elaborate world-building, featuring enigmatic characters that regularly appear across Sin’s works. Combining moving image and installation, The End Time! draws upon Sin’s interests in science fiction, drag, Cantonese opera, and popular culture to challenge binaries that shape our personal identities and lived realities.
