George Fok (born in Hong Kong) is a media artist and creative director based in Montreal. Working in time-based and lens-based practices, including video installation, photo essay, documentary filmmaking, and digital media, his work explores identity, character, and community across shifting social and cultural landscapes.
Centred on portraiture as personality studies, Fok examines how individuals and groups are shaped by their surroundings, collective rituals, and cultural behaviour. Moving between immersive installations and observational narratives, he approaches the moving image as both document and psychological inquiry, constructing atmospheres where character unfolds in relation to memory, power, and shared culture.
With a background in graphic design and media arts, Fok bridges creative direction with artistic research, investigating visual memory and speculative narratives. Over three decades, his practice has evolved from film and commissioned works toward immersive and new media environments.
His work has been presented internationally, including at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal, the Art Gallery of Ontario, GL Strand and Nikolaj Kunsthal in Copenhagen, The Jewish Museum in New York, and The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco. He is also recognized for large-scale biographical concert installations honouring Leonard Cohen and Yoko Ono.
Fok actively collaborates across disciplines and engages in mentorship and community initiatives supporting emerging talent.
