Same Moon Different Suns by Jennifer Ng

We are delighted to present Jennifer Ng’s performance Same Moon Different Suns as part of The London Group Open 2025. Her work was selected through The London Group’s open call.

Every day, I live my time thrice - now, in the past, and in the future. They said that I shouldn’t be pointing at the moon, for the sheer fear of getting a cut on the ear. That’s all they said, no more, no less. “Which moon”, I asked? “What about the sun?”. “Which sun?” I asked again. I am still waiting for the silence.

This work was developed as a response to a dislocated form of existence, as the artist explores notions of distance, unsettledness and uncertainty stemming from the subjective experience of living different realities, and existing across geographical time zones. In this durational work, Jennifer Ng will focus on creating indexical imprints of such inhabitation in real time.

The audience is invited to come and go as they please, spending time with the performance for as long as they wish during the two hour duration. The performance will take place amongst The London Group Open 2025 exhibition.

The London Group Open represents a unique opportunity for non-members to exhibit among current members of the UK’s longest-running and most prestigious artists’ collective. Embodying the group’s dedication to the contemporary art scene, this open call invites entries from UK based visual artists aged 18 and over, working in any medium.
