Serene Hui's research-led practice reframes and rethinks the conditions of the contemporary through politically driven art-making and inquiry. At the intersection of art, theory, and social action, she addresses obscure issues often by creating an ontological shift of displacement in her works. Through juxtaposing and converging dissimilar situations, sometimes dilemmas in the same spacetime, the work raises questions such as how does one respond to, or what could one possibly get out of, the moment of conflict, estrangement or resistance. Within the installation situations, there are merged multiple politically or culturally coded settings; by exposing the objects and information in a neutral position, the work aims to explore the diverse meanings of its complex contents.

Serene has presented in numerous international exhibitions and artist-in-residencies. She is now based in The Netherlands where she is completing her Master Artistic Research at the Royal Academy of Arts The Hague.
