Marvin Tang uses images as a tool of investigation.
He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of Art, Design, and Media (NTU) and his Master’s in Photography from the University of the Arts London.
His research questions the linearity of historical narratives and the concept of collective identities, particularly through image production. He is drawn by the intersections of history and ecology, utilising these perspectives to explore policy-making and the evolving dynamics of social structures
Marvin received the CAPA Asia Portfolio Review Prize at the 5th Singapore International Photography Festival in 2016 and the Kwek Leng Joo Prize of Excellence in Photography in 2015. His works have been exhibited at various esteemed venues, including Alliance Française de Singapour, DECK (Singapore), Mizuma Gallery (Singapore), Thessaloniki PhotoBiennale (Greece), Noorderlicht International Photofestival (Netherlands), Odesa Photo Days (Ukraine), and the Dali International Photography Exhibition (China).
