The publication a pocket dictionary of word slips (english/german special edition) is the third of a series of pocket dictionaries. This special edition was heavily inspired by the artist’s 3 years of learning the German language while living in Switzerland. Compiling a series of English and German words that may be confusing to a foreigner, these word associations thread the lines of humour, poetry and unpredictability.

b. 1992, Singapore
Currently based in Singapore
Genevieve Leong completed her BA Fine Art (Photography & Digital Imaging) at Nanyang Technological University, School of Art, Design & Media, Singapore, in 2015, and her MA Contemporary Art Practice (Critical Practice) at the Royal College of Art, London, in 2019. She was based in Switzerland from August 2019—March 2023 and relocated back to Singapore in April 2023.
Her art practice attempts to visualise the intangible. Beginning with the immaterial, her work often combines text, image, found and made objects and the manipulation of space to create what she describes as “an almost physical image”. Her work seeks to shed new light onto her emotions, sensations, and realisations.
