Bo Choy (b. 1986, Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong-born, London-based artist working across film, performance and sound. She received a BA from Chelsea College of Art, and MA from Slade School of Art. She uses fiction, music, writing and costumes as artistic devices. Often borrowing aesthetic tropes from Far Eastern folklore traditions and rituals, her use of costumes and fiction results in works that merge the everyday with the fantastical, the mythological and sometimes the absurd.
