Kon Fu Shan Joshua (b. 1997, Singapore) originally trained in literature, abandoned the field to avoid a particularly fierce teacher in his childhood. Realizing he had little aptitude for anything he opted to study art instead. Utilizing a various combination of video, photography, textual intervention and installation, Kon often uses whatever mediums necessary at his disposal at a case by case basis for each project. Through the creation of elaborately bizarre scenarios and blatantly false narratives, he creates allegories that challenge notions of established authorities and national identity that hinge on balancing between love and criticism. Joshua graduated from Nanyang Technological University, School of Art, Design and Media with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Media Art (Photography) and is currently studying for a Masters in Fine Arts in University of Arts London. He has shown internationally in group shows, such as For the House; Against the House by OH! Open House during Singapore Art Week 2023. He was awarded the Kwek Leng Joo Excellence in Photography award in 2022 and the Grupo Barceló Emerging Artist Award in 2025.

Eric Zhicheng Fei (b. 2001, Shanghai) is a multidisciplinary artist based in London and Shanghai. Working across painting, performance, moving image and installation, he examines how identity and belonging are constructed and performed under conditions of migration and mediated connection. His practice draws closely from lived experience and daily observation. Adopting roles such as painter, estate agent, teacher, astronaut, and newscaster, Fei reflects on his position as an international student navigating diasporic mobility. His works engage humour and absurdity to explore belonging as a continual recalibration between here and elsewhere — a space where identity never fully settles but is constantly adjusted.

Nikita Savostyanov (b. 1997, Almaty) is a London-based artist working with sculpture and installation. With a background in 3D art and journalism, he connects contemporary digital simulation with a Victorian-era belief in mechanical reproduction, particularly the idea that industrial processes could produce a reality more perfect than the original. He explores ‘Artificial Realism’ through what he terms ‘physical renders’. Combining papier-mâché with elements of digital fabrication, he reconfigures everyday forms, from heavy industrial infrastructure to ephemeral cast shadows. Applying the logic of 3D modelling to physical space, he produces a material paradox in which objects appear functional yet lack mass, while light and shadow become fixed surfaces. Placed alongside ‘real’ objects, these deceptive simulations reveal slippages between solidity and construction, suggesting that our digital present continues a Victorian desire for the ‘authentic fake’.
