Wong, King Chuen ( Mario )
King Chuen Mario Wong is a photographer from Hong Kong who used to work as a commercial photographer for an advertising agency in town. He is currently based in Melbourne after undertaking a Master of Photographer at RMIT, pursuing artistic inspiration and enlightenment in the field.
Inspired by Buddhism, his works attempt to explore the interdependent co-arising of life, unveiling the unseen and inadvertent interconnectedness through the lens. He believes that the photographer creates a unique interdependence with the subject at a specific moment, and together reveals the essence of that moment. In this relationship, the act of photography becomes a way to explore the connection of life, the "interdependent co-arising," searching for the permanence and impermanence, lightness and Heaviness of being.
