johanna ng is an artist who lives and works on unceded Dharug land (Sydney), Australia. Across photography, moving image, installation, and performance, she seeks to uncover the autonomous life of images. Ng uses participatory processes including interviews, transcription, and re-enactment to consider how mass image production and consumption percolate through individual and collective consciousness to emerge as embodied actions, cultural mimicry, and performances of self.

Ng holds a Bachelor of Design in Visual Communication (First Class Honours) from the University of Technology, Sydney, and a Bachelor of Fine Art (First Class Honours) at the National Art School where she received the Award for Outstanding Academic Achievement. Other significant awards include winning the Burwood Art Prize (2023). She has exhibited at 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art’s 4A LAB and shown in various group exhibitions in artist-run spaces across Sydney and Melbourne.
