MING-ZHU HII
Multidisciplinary / Interdisciplinary
Ming-Zhu Hii (pronounced mɪŋ-ʒu haɪ) is a Naarm/Melbourne Autralia-based artist whose practice encompasses filmmaking, installation, moving image art, theatre & live performance, screen acting, writing and voiceover — often intersecting at hybrids of multiple mediums.
Her work is concerned with cycles of power, complicity, violence and the slipperiness of memory, which she playfully engages with through repetition, poetic fragmentation, and the deliberate destabilisation of linear time and narrative, and frequently enfolds into subtle or oblique mystery and thriller shaped containers.
Ming-Zhu has an extensive and diverse body of artistic practice, as well as decades of film, TV and stage credits as an actor, alongside a prolific career as a premium commercial voice artist.
Dissidence (2026)
This is the story of a disappearance.
None of it real. Some of it real.
A woman remembers things out of order: the cars exploding into flames, the networks falling offline, the secret lists people were asked to keep, the protests. And at the heart of everything, her love affair with a young photographer under surveillance.
A new, lyric film by Ming-Zhu Hii.
INTRUSION (2018)
She enters the room.
A fashion editor enters a photographic studio to direct a shoot. A traumatic event has occurred the night before, the details of which are fragmented and unclear.
Ming-Zhu Hii’s provocative, award-winning experimental narrative short film.
