CAECAR CHONG CHUNG YONG

Multi-disciplinary Artist & Core Member of Nyoba Kan


A qualified architect, Caecar has chosen to apply his skill and knowledge not on brickwork and steel structures, but experimentally with different art media and formats. Closely associated with the establishment and direction of Space Spirit Studio, Caecar champions the use of various media across art disciplines as diverse as the visual arts, performing arts and even floral design to express the spirit of space. This grants a new lease of life to the classic ideological maxim that architecture is more than just about building buildings.

In terms of the performing arts, Caecar has been a core member of Nyoba Kan since 2002 and performed in all their subsequent productions. These include ‘Carmen’, ‘Eden with Chrysanthemums in Full Bloom’, ‘Qian’s’, ‘A Cherry Bludgeoned, A Spirit Crushed’, ‘Money God Arrives’ and ‘Phoenix Rises’. With the other members he also participated in the Japan-Malaysia Technical Design Workshop.
