Special Gallery price PS15.00 - RRP: PS20.00Accompanies the exhibition at the National Gallery, London, 15 January-5 April 2026. In the National Gallery's Bicentenary year, Berlin-based artist Ming Wong was invited to respond to its collection as the 2025 Artist in Residence, in collaboration with the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea. Known for his inventive reimagining of cultural icons through film, performance and installation, Wong turns here to Saint Sebastian, a figure immortalised by generations of artists from the Renaissance to the current day. His new work stages a dialogue between painting and film, the past and the present, inviting us to see the museum not as a fixed archive but as an engine of time travel where histories collide and identities shift. This publication follows the making of Wong's film and installation, which reenvisions Derek Jarman's Sebastiene (1976) in the context of the Gallery's historic paintings. Creating a layered, hybrid world of anachronisms - where Asian actors speaking in Latin are filmed on Super 8 and digital media - Wong's work explores how stories are told and retold across time. Featuring original material from the artist, the book also includes texts by Russell Storey and Annabel Bai Jackson that illuminate and expand on Wong's bold and subversive practice. AuthorPriyesh Mistry is Associate Curator for Modern and Contemporary Projects at the National Gallery, London. With contributions by Annabel Bai Jackson and Russell Storer.
