Adam Phong (b. 2002, Malaysia) is an artist who uses time as material.
He builds systems that reshape how he lives. One is a 79-year death countdown that reduces his life to a shrinking number of days. His projects are long, obsessive and irreversible.
He has exhibited in Kuala Lumpur, Antwerp, and Singapore, including at S.E.A. Focus (2025). Solo exhibitions include One of Our Fossils at A+ Works of Art (2024) and Livingbribe at G13 Gallery (2023). He received the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (2022).
He lives and works in Kuala Lumpur.
